$723.48 WOW! I spent alot. I don't think I bought alot. I'm still below the USDA March 2025 Thrifty food plan. I did 1 week for DD plus full month for 4 adults by age. According to this report numbers we should have spent $1057.80. That is just crazy.
Places I can cut. Coffee (use what we have in house for month of May) Bake instead of buy cookies, Apple juice cutback. Only go to Liuzzi on infusion day. A lot of the meats and cheeses are in freezer for future meals, though I do not think I bought an excessive amount of meat. Once farm share kicks in, and garden starts producing I won't be buying as much produce. I could start baking more bread again.
I don't think I'm buying anything crazy. I will limit Liuzzi/Produce Market (owned by shared families) to just once every 5 weeks (infusion) For May I will try to pull back on shopping. Pops definitely goes through a lot of juice (DS also bought 2 bottles this month)
