I'm going to bump mine up to $350.00 for this month. It's optimistic, but hopefully I can catch some good deals on baking goods.

I don't know how we managed this one, but we spent the same amount this past weekend as we did the weekend before that. We're heading to BJ's this weekend so I can start buying my cookie ingredients in bulk. I hope I can stay under budget this month.

Todd went to the store to pick up some items we needed.
He spent $30.22
Total this month: $150.95

We have 2 weeks to go and only $100 to spend to stay within the budget. I think we should be OK. I guess we'll find out.

Todd went Grocery Shopping on Friday.
We went to Gordon Food Service yesterday which is a place that offers bulk items like a Sam's Club or BJ's without having to buy a membership.

We ended up buying 11 lbs of cheese (which will last us a good 4-6 months), 15 dozen eggs worth of egg whites, among a few other items that were a really good price.

Friday & Saturday we spent a total of 121.85.
Add that to what we have already spent for the month, our total so far for the month is: 239.79.
