My $40 Weekly Grocery Challenge!
After my little brownie episode last week, I used up the rest of my $40 grocery budget. So, I did start this week fresh with $40 grocery cash. I ended up making 3 separate Publix trips since I found some more Ragu and Lipton Sides coupons! Between 3 trips (only 2 are pictured) to Publix and a stop at the Dollar Tree for some bread, I spent around $23. I also made a trip to Target for some things which I will post about later on! :)
