Grocery Cart Sept. 4

Grocery Cart Challenge
This week I tried to not buy much. But I was very nice because the kids requested special drinks for school.And I bought special food for the holiday. That added up quick. I feel like I spent way too much money on that! Then there was also a special request for BBQ nachos. Usually I make meals with what we have on hand because it is much cheaper. And this shopping trip proves that point. I spent way too much money on those items. If you plan meals then go shopping, your grocery bill WILL be higher. But, if you shop for deals, then plan your next weeks meal around what you already have, it's much cheaper! Maybe next week I won't give in so much.
