$50 Per Week Grocery Challenge: Week #51

How Much Did I Spend For Weeks #51?

It was a slow week and I only spent $,30.17.  I desperately need hamburger (I am down to 3 lbs), but there were no sales.  I also found out my food allergies were much worse than I thought and I now have a list of foods a mile long I am not allowed to eat.  Luckily I grind my own wheat, we drink whole milk and I try to make as many items from scratch or I would really be up a creek.  I can't eat any fruit and this even includes olive oils and coconut oils along with many fruit based vitamins (Vitamin A Palmate found in all milks but whole) and I also am not to eat grains with potatoes.  And let me tell you potato starch is in everything!  It has been an interesting few days trying to figure out what I can and can't eat.  I can't even have baking powder or cream of tartar.  I guess my baked goods will come out of the oven a bit flat.
