Grocery Adventures: 3/16/13

My husband and I are on a budget when it comes to food. Not like an extreme couponing $10 per week budget, but a busy schedule budgeting $50 per week budget.

This week at the grocery store, I spent a little over our budget, with my two-week total coming in at $106.16. Ugh.
