First Week with Just a Menu Plan and April Totals

I did a bit of grocery shopping last week which I am not completely happy about. One of the trips was strictly to try to get some cash over which did not work out and left me in tears in the parking lot.
Background on that incident is that my debit card was used fraudulently and so I called to have it shut off. It took 7 days to get a new debit card and my bank is not local so I have no branches to go to in order to cash a check. I was able to write a check at most places but not restaurants or gas stations. I was running on fumes when I tried to get cash over at the grocery store and was told the processor of checks would not let me because I did not have a check writing history.....duh because I usually use my debit card. Anyway the situation left me in tears trying to figure out how to get gas. I honestly called Phillip and used his debit card as we keep separate accounts. Learned my lesson to at least sock away a few dollars cash for an emergency.
