I am afraid I may have to up my monthly grocery amount but I am holding out for a few months to see. Phillip is taking his lunch and both boys are eating more and more as they get a little older. Another challenge I have faced is my Bountiful Baskets co-op stopped and is in the middle of a reworking so my location has not had a pick up in almost 6 months. I am looking into just joining a nearly local CSA once the spring gets here. As it stands I have been hitting up the farmer's market and grocery stores for produce and debating items through another meat/dairy co-op.
In addition to listing the stores and amounts I am going to break my trips down into groceries and after Christmas items. I did buy several items on clearance to put back for next year and while they came out of this month's budget I am not going to put them toward my grocery totals.
