Cleaning Out the Freezer 2022

A couple of times a year we have what we call no spend months.  Usually, it's a way to empty out the stockpile I have acquired in the freezer and pantry.

All of our kids are at camp at some point this month.  It sounded like a good time to eat what we already had.  I choose to go with a $50 a week budget to pick up the necessities like milk, bread and fresh veggies.  With the rising cost of everything I'm not sure I'm going to make it happen but I'm trying.  The 1st week I was way over $50.  This week only a $1.56 over.  We will see how the rest of the month plays out!   Here is what I bought last week and this week and what we are eating!  

 This is just the Walmart stuff.  There was an Aldi trip, but I forgot to take a picture.  

TOTAL:  $97.77
