I did a marathon shopping trip last night stopping at 3 grocery stores and CVS all in a 4 mile trip!
It took me longer than it should have because I was finding my way around new stores: overall it was an hour and 45 min.

This should last us for about 3 weeks (maybe a little less) with stops for milk and dog food. I was over budget at bit but I think some of that is due to having an extra adult in the house. We may have to raise our budget to $75!
