Life is finally getting back to "normal"

I am seeing light at the end of the tunnel. My husband has gone back to work. The kids and I are getting back to our busy homeschool/baby-chasing schedule. As far as cooking, I am really wanting to focus on getting back to a budget. Before my husband fell, I was trying to go shopping for a month at a time at Aldi's and then supplementing by shopping at the local grocery store for milk, bread, produce, and items they don't sell at Aldi's. On Friday, Feb 19th, I went to Aldi's and spent about $270. My goal is to supplement with no more than $60 per week the rest of the month. So far, I have done fine with keeping within the budget. A few factors to keep in mind are that I need to focus on eating healthier foods and also I had lap-band surgery about 8 months ago. Because of my lap-band I need to eat more protein and healthy carbs. I need to try and cook healthier for my whole family (but frugally, too). I have also been contemplating trying my hand at once-a-month-cooking. I may shop for that the next time I go to Aldi's.

God bless!
