    1. Hi Gill, considering that is for the whole month and the FDA averages for their "thrifty" plan for my size family is over $700 a month, I feel $260 for the month is still a huge success considering all the meat I got. I really will only need milk, eggs and butter for rest of month so I should not go over $300 for whole month which is still less than 1/2 of the monthly averages.

  2. Hi Carrie,
    This week I found milk, eggs and beef on sale, so the shopping consisted of 6 gallons milk, 4 dozen eggs, and 15 pounds of beef. I'll have to buy some more items later in the month, to prepare ahead some meals for when school first starts up. There's still quite a lot in our pantry.
