Last Week's Spending Totals

This past week's spending was a little higher than I like it to be, but a trip to Aldi for pantry staples and fruits and veggies can tend to do that for some reason. Any way, here's how we did...
Food - $32.87
Health & Beauty - $3.74
Household - $11.91
Total: $48.52

Eating Out: $23.72
