The "Finally Time to Celebrate" Edition--
1 trip to the Bread Outlet, 1 trip to Weis and 1 trip to Maines restaurant supply brought the shopping last week to $68.30. That brings March's food spending total to $72.30. There are 20 days left in my shopping month.
Everyone was finally on the mend and Hubs was home from Louisiana so we took College Boy out for his birthday meal late last week. He wanted to go the the hibachi place and we did it for lunch as CB had to go to his internship that evening and it was great as the place was less crowded during the day(plus the prices were a tad less). 8-)
As you can see for the photo I had a bit of sake in me by this point. lolz
