I will slow down as I go past the chocolate coated liquorice this week. Hopefully some will jump in. I could always give it a little boost.  :D
That's why I shop when DH is at car club. We still have stuff in the pantry he bought last time he came with me.  :-\

$173 this week, which didn't seem too bad - bought a few expensive items and extra "treats". 

But then it just arrived (ordered online) and I discovered I double-ordered the chicken thighs!!  Could have made my $150 goal  >:(  How did I miss that!?!

Oh well, freezer will be well stocked this week, and next week should be a good one.

First time ever.  Zero $ for shopping this week.  We are going away tomorrow so have had to make a big effort to clean out fridges.

I have been brave and added up the last 3 weeks. I have not been cooking much so it just shows how much more you spend.
$163.41, $190.90, $208.46
not as bad as I thought it would be ;D
