oops, over budget

week #2 csa loot

oopsy daisy, i'm over budget this week. i blame the hubby, a serious craving of nachos, and a need to stock up on our muslix supply. however, we now have a serious stash of some important staples, so hopefully in the next few weeks we can get back on track and save cash for the project bank. btw, i added a "3G weekly totals" page for a quick view of the weekly totals and how much money is in the project bank. this week i decided to subtract the ten dollars (rounding up a bit for tax) i'm over budget from the project bank. as much as it hurts me, it's the fair thing to do. so here is this week's breakdown......

Your combo for the muesli looks yummy. I might have to make me a jar. I like soaking mine overnight in the fridge in some yogurt and milk with a little vanilla and cinnamon. Then slice a banana over the top in the morning. Super yum-o!
