Grand total.....$54.01

Yes, I actually spent a lot more than I'd hoped since I didn't buy much meat or much produce.  The string cheese was the only really pricy thing I got.  But I have A LOT of food on the shelves in the basement, ready for use.  One of these weeks I'm going to have to do a pantry challenge--someone tell Kroger to stop having these great deals!

When I add up everything I bought that was used this past week, I get about $35, so under $20 for all the additional stuff that WILL get used in our house is a pretty good deal, I think.  But I also think you all give me too much credit.  I'm good and organized...but not THAT good!
