$50 Per Week Grocery Challenge - Week #25 & #26

How Much Did I Spend For Weeks #25 & #26?

Last week we spent $44.16 and this week we spent $49.47.  I am making this short and sweet as we are still trying to sell our home and pack to move to the new one.  And between a daily showing for the past 2 weeks, school, v-ball, 4-H and life I feel a bit overwhelmed.

We ate out at McDonalds twice and picked up a Little Caesar's Pizza once when we had people come and look at our home.  Our house has only been on the market for 16 days, but it feels like a lot longer.  Most people would consider me a neat freak, but trying to keep a house spotless is driving me batty.  So far today we haven't had a showing and even thought we need someone to buy our home I am a bit grateful for the repast.
