$50 a Month Grocery Challenge - February Update

If you are following along on my $50 a month grocery challenge, here are the stats for February: I started the month with $50 cash + $15.31 cash and $23 in Rite Aid UPS Rewards carried over from January). I now have $29.83 cash left.

What I didn't spend in February I will carry over into March, which will give me a nice reserve. That means I will have $79.83 to spend in March.
