We did a lot of eating out of the cupboards for this two weeks and it shows. We basically bought only what we needed or what was just too good a deal to pass up.
However, we do need to do a salvage shop. And that will cost.
Also, I hope to take advantage of some Lenten fish and seafood specials.
The last two weeks of the month will definitely cost more but I'm OK with that.
