I’m pretty confident I can make the $250 last the next three weeks with minimal shopping and minimal waste. I think I just need to minimize blog recipe creation disasters and we will be good to go. I might have had one this morning, but luckily cream cheese is only $1.69 so no big deal.

Saturday night I made 16 Green Chile and Cheese Breakfast Burritos
We also have
– Vans Waffles
