Monthly Spending – August 2022

Here are all of my expenses for the last month!  I was excited to find a gallon of milk reduced to $0.75 because of its date.  They’re normally reduced to $0.99.  I renewed my driver’s license which is now good for eight years instead of six years. My bulk spending included two loaves of bread, two boxes of dessert cereal, five packages of pasta/rice sides, eight cans of pasta with meat, and twenty-four packages of ramen noodles.
