Grocery Challenge - Week 7

I'm sorry that I'm so late in posting this.  I took my husband shopping with me on one of the trips and my budget suffered for it.

I also want to add that I normally don't buy all these bags of chips, snacks, etc..  The kids have had a lot of company lately and I felt the need to stock up on quick snacks that they can grab and take to where they are watching movies.  I also bought some individual snacks for Small T to take in her school lunches.  The Gatorade is also something I never buy but with the stomach virus's that have been going around, I figured we could stand to have some in the house.
