Here are all of my expenses for the last month! I stocked up a little extra so I could avoid shopping for a while. My bulk spending included two loaves of bread (one for freezer), five boxes of cereal, eight cans of chicken, three bags of corn chips, two boxes of saltine crackers, four cans of chili, two cartons of eggs (18 each), two cartons of milk (one for freezer), four cans of olives, six boxes of pasta/rice sides, two bags of popcorn kernels, three boxes of salad dressing mix (each contains four packets), six packages of frozen vegetables, and twelve bottles of wine. Those are my only notes for the month.
