You Won’t BELIEVE Number 3! 12 Things I learned from my $400 grocery budget!

This month has been a HUGE learning experience for me! I have really gathered a life long set of lessons by sharing this meal plan with you--and forcing myself to stick to a tight budget.
Today, I want to talk about all the things I have learned while trying to stick to this meal plan and $400 budget.
I hope this meal plan has helped you! You have been so encouraging to me throughout the process, and I can't tell you how much I appreciate you!!
Please let me know down below what your FAVORITE money saving tip is! I think we need to compile all of our lists and make a video of them all!
If you are a new subscriber, thank you so much! If you are an old friend, I am so grateful for you and so thankful you have stuck with me!
I have a BIG life update video coming next week, so stay tuned for that!!!
You can find the meal plan and recipes down below!
