Fresh groceries cost $$$

Hello again!

I spent $32.09 on groceries today buying a couple of whole chickens, strawberries and blueberries ,romaine lettuce, yogurt, 2 dozen eggs, a bag of apples, a green and red pepper, tortillas and a box of granola bars. Tried to find some economical cheese but decided to forgo purchasing as everything I could find was way to expensive.  Hoping this will last me for 5 days!!!!  Feeling guilty I bought so much food and thinking maybe I should have not spent quite so much. Today I did two loads of laundry to prepare for the week ahead.  I put one load in the dryer and hung everything else up to air dry.  Thinking that a load of laundry would be about $2.00? And the dryer the same? Opened up the first challenge and discovered my microwave oven is broke and so I won't be able to use it for the rest of the challenge!!  Thank goodness I have a stove that is working (so far at least).   Made lunch for tomorrow to take to work.
