About this week's expenses 

for main courses:





This was a big buying week for several reasons. 




It is our co-op week. 


There were some sales and many things were on sale (unadvertised). 


The meal threads last week used up a lot of food we had on hand.


Weather prevented my going out.


Plans changed a couple of times.


I ran out of fresh produce and some dairy at the same time.


It is hard to calculate what I spend each week because the way I shop
and the way I cook are very different. So, my shopping tends to change
from week to week.

Since my husband owns his own business, money does not come in for 
household use on a regular basis. We get paid when projects are done
and clients pay what they owe us. This affects how I shop.

Some weeks I only shop at our local store but most weeks I go into town for
at least some needed  items.

Our local store is my go-to sales store. I missed a big sale today simply because
it was not posted online----or at least, I did not see it.  No matter........

In town I go to Costco and our natural food store----sometimes getting 
more than at other times.

For non-food items I go to Walmart. 

I don't shop every week necessarily. 
It just depends on what I have and 
what I plan to do with what I have 
and when we are paid. 


I guess that is what doing the best with what you've got is all about!

PS  I hope you can all read this easily. 
I have edited this for spacing several times 
and each time something jumps out of place
when I publish it.  Sorry.........
