You are doing fantastic, Cleta. Yeah, I can sympathize with the end of the month stuff. I am fortunate that my daughters pay for a membership to Costco. The Romaine lettuce and eggs are very reasonable. I also tend to pick meat at the beginning of the month (that are cheaper than in the stores, otherwise I wait and watch for sales) and just get it all cooked up at one time. An example is turkey hamburger on sale can be cooked up and used as topping on a taco salad. A number of folks around here have backyard chickens and sell their eggs pretty cheap also. Unfortunately the Farmer's Markets are pretty pricey, but sometimes worth a "splurge."
