What We Ate March 12 - 18

Last week I was disappointed at how much money we spent on food.  This week, I’m very pleased with how we've done with our meals.  We ate well and spent almost nothing.  I love it when that happens!  We bought only a single 4 litre jug of milk, bringing our month’s grocery spending total to $107.33
