This Week on the Dining Table

The "I Still Find This Drink Cup Funny" Edition................

Once or twice a year Hubs and I stop at a KFC for lunch when we are in this town.  We went down there on Saturday.  I doubt Harland Sanders ever said this but it tickles my funny bone every year I get a Diet Pepsi there. lolz

One trip to Weis plus trips to Aldi, Malacari's produce and Maines restaurant supply from the end of November brought the current weekly spending to $78.71 and my December spending on food to $78.71.

My savings percentage last week was 45.00%(without Rite-Aid trips)and December's monthly savings total comes in at 45.00%(w/out R-A).

I have 22 more food shopping/spending days in December.
