I was actually surprised that I only spent a little over $90 with that change because all the organic stuff was 2-3x more expensive - and that at a discount grocery that carries local/organic! I also bought 3 pounds of meat for a party this Saturday, another deviation from my normal. So I still think I'll be able to come in at under $320 for the month if I am careful. :) Today I went over $80 for the first time in weeks because I decided to go back to buying all local/organic fresh produce.

My issue is that I don't like the taste of regular pie crust, so pies with graham cracker or cookie crusts appeal to me more. Ohhhhh, I see! lol

Remember that mathematical formula to find out the area of a circle by multiplying by Pi or 3.14? Kind of a fun in a weird way. a lot of math classes celebrate with pie on or around March 14 which is 3.14.

I normally put my husband to shame in the veggie department, but he is actually the only one here who likes mushrooms. So, I buy a few every week to put in his salads and to top his pizza.
