As I mentioned on Friday, menu planning went out the window this past week and my grocery spending actually hit outside the $400 I planned. I am beginning to see how the two are definitely related.  I did order several large storage buckets to use for bulk items such as flour and rice. I am starting a list of Costco and am planning to restrain myself until March if at all possible. I did cook several meals ahead of time on Sunday so hopefully we will stay on a better track this week.
