7 more days, and well, $0 left! I planned out our meals for the final week and went shopping all at once on Monday, so we really shouldn’t need anything else from now until the end of the challenge. However, I did exceed the $100 limit already by $3.59. I’m a little bummed…but if we can make it to the end without spending anything else, I’ll be pretty happy considering how much we usually spend on groceries. We’ll see how it goes!
