Menu for Hard Time- Prep day

Here is the prep work before starting the Menu for Hard Times $20-30

Well I went grocery shopping and spent............$55.33!!

(my pics never look as nice as others who show off their "deals"...oh well)
Well I must first say as you can see in the picture I did purchase a few "extras" including:
cheese  $2
yogurt  $2.79
ice cream pops 2.00  (how did they get there??  they were a nice treat on the drive home)
FRESH broccoli (vs. the frozen)  1.99
applesauce  x2 =  1.78
Toilet Paper    .89
Pancake syrup 1.29  (can't wait to get the REAL stuff in 2weeks)
Antacid  1.99
banannas  1.46
peanut butter  1.39  (not what I wanted--but it fit the budget)
chesse 1.89
jelly  1.29
-----------
TOTAL  $20.76
Plus a few of her "givens" or pantry items or homestead items I had to purchase:
brown rice  3.25
eggs- 2 doz-  $2.
Honey  $3.49
milk  2 gall=  $7.44
-----------------------
TOTAL:  16.18
So according to what SHE told us to buy I only spent $18.39
So I came home did up the dishes had cereal for breakfast!!   And I got out the bread machine--and before I go to bed I need to prep by soaking the beans...  and when I wake up and start my coffee- I'll start my bread.
We'll see how this goes-- I'm very excited and a bit anxious!!
