Okay, I've planned my next week's meals and shopped accordingly *yay*
I did go over budget by way too much ($160) and it means I only have $40 for the following week but I'm hoping that now I have some of the ingredients it means I won't have to buy that much anyway.
I did similar the last fortnight and it worked out with me having $20 left over so maybe this is how I'll shop. Shop up big week 1 and then small week 2.
We'll have to see.
Wait for Monday when I post my first ever Menu Plan Monday!
