Ha ha, I'm right there with you - already looking forward to what I can buy when March begins :)
Good job being hard core in maximizing your budget!
I am making myself stay out of the store next week! I can go crazy in a grocery store... way worse than any clothing store! Menu planning has been much more fun since I have been staying out of the store though. It makes me use my imagination a lot more and it is just more fun altogether! Can't wait to link up and see how every one did in Feb!!!!!
My 4 year old would love to join you for dinner on Friday ;)
Congrats on sticking to your budget! $200 is impressive for a monthly grocery bill. I need to work on that for our family. You are a strong woman to go without cheese...I think my lil' ones would freak out without cheese.
Wow I am impressed that you are able to spend only $200 a month on groceries! This is an amazing challenge. We spend at least $150 a week! But, living in CA ...it is just what it is... but, I try to manage with keeping costs low by meal planning!
Good job in keeping up with your challenge!
The Salmon Cakes look yummy!!
Blessings,
Bella
