I just realized how behind I am on posting my monthly numbers.  I keep track every 4 weeks and this 4 week period went form 11/21 – 12/18 so, yeap, I’m behind.  But I ran the numbers and they still look good even with kids home, Thanksgiving, etc.

If you remember, I started keeping track in March. Previously my grocery bill used to be $225-$275 each week.

Here are my current numbers since I started keeping track in March:
