The main reason I've been spending so much at the store has been because lately I've been making almost all of my meals at home. I used to eat at the cafeteria at work almost every day, and eat out or eat some kind of frozen meal the rest of the time. This month I haven't been to the cafeteria once. Nice! But the grocery bill is still pretty shameful. I'm going to make it a goal for February to come up with more budget-friendly meals to make ahead.
