I really enjoy reading these weekly breakdowns—they’re so detailed and realistic. You did a great job stretching your budget, especially with all those clearance finds and the cooked chicken deal! It’s helpful to see how you balance staples, organic items, and convenience foods while still keeping your weekly average in check. Thanks for sharing; posts like this are both motivating and practical for anyone trying to be more mindful about grocery spending.
