update on food budget

After last months ridiculous amount spent on food/eating out/drinks ($620!). We have been doing much better this month. There is only 8 days left in the month and I shouldn't have to grocery shop again this month and we have spent around 300 dollars so far. My goal is to stay under 400 dollars every month. I do plan on going out to lunch on Friday since we are going on a drive to look at some things and I like to use the entertainment books b1g1 free coupons for restaurants in new towns. However tomorrow we are having another couple over for dinner instead of going out to eat, also we have been eating in a ton more and I have been cooking a lot of easy meals, however I have also been buying a lot less frozen meals and instead making things with a lot more vegetables and fruits. I did a lot of shopping at the discount grocery store this month, I did not use many coupons this month because there were not many good coupon match-ups of things I wanted to eat.  For Valentine day we used our fondu pot to make cheese fondu and chocolate fondu.
