New Month, More Food!

So my total for the month of June was $114.88, excluding the cost of alcohol and the few times I ate out. For those who are curious to know I probably spent another $150 or so on eating out/drinking. Considering the number of times I ate out is much less than the times I ate and cooked at home and I still spent more, I think that puts a lot into perspective. I'll probably try to eat even more at home this coming up month since I'm definitely on a budget.

Anyway. This week's shopping:
