Spending Challenge Update-Week 1

So far, so good! We really have been able to get most fo what we need from our stockpile. Its very nice to see all that summer saving put to good use:)
So far we're a week in and I've spent $30.70. A little over what I would like, but with Thanksgiving out of the way after this weekend, I think that the rest of the month will still line up within my $80 budget.
Here's what I got for $30.70 ...
1 Bag milk $4.23
3 bags 20 dinner rolls $2 ea
3 romain lettuce hearts $1.27
3 large sweet potatoes $1.87
3 loaves garlic bread $1.57 ea
2 Dawn dish soap $0.50 ea (with brandsaver.ca coupon)
3 bundles green onions $1.27
3 garlic $0.47
Celery $1.47
4 Marinating steaks $4.81!!!! (combination of sobeys cardholder savings and 50% off discount!)
TAX $3.60
TOTAL $30.70
Remaining $$ for the month = $49.30 (or $16.43/ week)
WISH ME LUCK!!
