7/24 CT Natural produce market

Prepared chicken cutlets, three lbs sweet/hot Longhini sausage, two large beefsteak tomatoes and a head of cabbage.   $22.42

Over budget as this all comes in at 657.32.   I think Lobsters/Crabs should technically be part of vaca budget (which we came in under) but I will leave it here.  Another 90 dollars of purchases from 7/18 and 7/19 haven't even been touched.   So I think I hit my goal of $500.00.   (498.32)

August I am going to try and see if I can do 400.  Think I can?  I sure will try!  The Market Share will be used as much as I can, with prepping and freezing for the winter months.
