visitors lefthttp://www.savingadvice.com/forums/images/smilies/action/aktion033.gif

today finally feels normal. We will eat down the fridge today, tomorrow, Friday and then revert to our menu plan.
Picked up an easy meal planning/cookbook by local TV host Sandi Richard at the library. Today is my 3rd no spend day in a row but it will take all of July and part of August to re-align the budget.
Bought son a used car 6/14 and from then on have had visitors or extraordinary expenditures like a total of 6 visitors with 2 of 6 staying 8 days! The food and auto costs went through the roof!
Our major festival starts Fri. and I anticipate more visitors. The freezer is still reasonably full so will only need to add fresh produce and possibly some nibbles like chips.
