Weekly Grocery Wrap Up

For a while now, I've been trying to pay cash only for my groceries to help me stay on track with the budget. I didn't do that this week, used the debit card. And, boy did I get in trouble! I've upped my budget to $60 a week, and I think that knowing that, along with a debit card, made me lose track of things. And of course I'm trying to only buy healthier and non-processed foods; although I've found that to be impossible, especially when it comes to snack items (there's only so much fruit you can make your kids eat)
