I spend on the average of $200-250 per month - and that doesn't include Myndi's prescription food. I try to buy store brands whenever possible, tho some of those items just don't cut it, and I will buy a favorite major brand. Cleaning products and paper goods really jack the bill up when I need to purchase those. I always buy my meat, eggs, butter, vitamins, and a few other things at Sam's, since they are so much cheaper.
