My $30 weekly budget

What did I buy so far with my $30 budget this week?

2 Kellogg's Special K Fruit and Yogurt Cereal

2 gallons white milk

1 gallon choc milk

3 Dial Hand Soap

1 Package pork chops

2 boxes of Christmas cookies

1 bag salad

Total spent at Kroger $13.60

Aldi

1 package carrots

1 bundle celery

$1.78

Meijer

4 boxes Rice Crispy Cereal

4 packages McCormick Seasoning

1 package Saragento Cheese

2 packs Knorr

1 Lg tub Yoplait yogurt

$7 (now I have to go back and get my coffee mate)

Total spent: $22.38 so far, I am under budget. But I do still have a few things to get at Walgreens and CVS.

Now if you are new, you are probably thinking that this is great, but I didn't buy anything that would make a complete meal. This is where the stockpile comes in. I take what I bought this week and go through what I already have to plan my menu.
