11/9 - ALDI

Time to go to the grocery store and this week I don't need too much considering how much I stocked up last week.  Also, we are doing a service project at church and I signed up to bring fruit - Which means a giant platter in my book!  In fact, I'll probably use one of those disposable casserole things.

We may be having company this weekend, but I'm not entirely sure.  That might blow my budget, but it's well worth it for friends who are like family!  I'll be reporting later this week if I need to go out and buy stuff.  I *may* be able to be creative though and cook from what I have....

I have $50.92 left to spend by Nov 19 if my budget is $400.  Hmmm, that's looking tough, but I just might surprise ya!
