I had some pretty good weeks, followed by a couple of not-so-great ones these last two, as far as sticking to my $50 budget. I guess the weeks when my husband goes out of town on business are a little tough. Plus this week we entertained three or four times, which accounts for the frozen pizzas (I didn't say we were fancy entertainers), the chicken legs, shrimp, sausage, and the ground sirloin.
