This week, Well we are starting today because I goofed yesterday and only DH had dinner, Lauren and I ate a VERY late lunch so we werent hungry. We also finished our shopping....now I spent a lot to stock, but remember, the grand total spent in August was less than $30 since our foodstamps got screwed up.
Due to my workers mess up, we had $375 to cover August and September.
Now before We get started, we get $165 per month, I know lots do not wish to apply but I want to run our budget through so people know what we have coming in and going out and why I am back in school and looking for a job.
Cheap meals can be quite varried without being stressful on the family.
My family does not like the same things regularly. We can not do a Monday through Sunday Menu and use the same basic menu week in week out, they would rebel.
