August Groceries With a New Plan

As I stated in the July totals post I am switching back to monthly shopping with a couple of duck ins for milk. I was spending too much money going weekly as I was using it as entertainment and stocking up on items that were not immediately needed.  This is what I picked up on Saturday at Winco along with a detailed listing of items. School is starting so we will be back packing lunches for Logan and Phillip requested some snacks also.
