Normally I wouldn't care to write about the amount of groceries I spend each week. I don't really have a budget, instead I just observe what I am spending on, and make sure not to waste money (or at least not often).

Anyway, last week was a little different. I have found I usually spend about $25/week, and the past week was certainly very close, at $25.90 (Aldi's plus some loss leaders at another store). However, as I do mystery shop dining at a local restaurant from time to time, and did one this past week, my weekly expenses on food was a net of $0.90 due to my work on a shop this past week. They pay well ($25), but the work is hard (a few hours of typing). I thought it was cool to have a very inexpensive week.
