We stocked up on cheese, taking advantage of some good sales. I also invested in quite a bit of meat, including 2 roasting chicken and a corned beef.
Over the next two weeks I will looking to be investing in a ham or two, maybe some butter if it's on special and eggs which are almost always on special around Easter. Of course, there is always asparagus, the taste of spring.
For the rest of the month I have $218.78 of the monthly allotment remaining. If necessary, I will go into the cushion of $498.91, $172.31 of which comes from this year.
