525.14 is what I should have spent (excluding CVS stuff...just looking at cash purchases and savings)
So I saved between 40 and 45% on my grocery trips this past month.  AND I stayed under my cash budget!  Unreal...this is the first month of tracking that I've actually done that.  Here's to another good month!
