Sept Spending

I started off Sept with a fully packaged freezer and pretty stocked pantry however I overspend last month $422 way too much for 2 people now mind you that alot of the things in my spending is not just food it's anything spent at any store be it toilet paper or Ziploc baggies.
This month so far I have been trying really hard to stay under my $300 budget I set at the first of the month currently 4 days too go and I am currently at $271.00.
Update spend only $296.93 I did it now to shoot for lower this month :O)

Freezing Crockpot Steel Cut Oatmeal

1 cup of steel cut oatmeal
3-4 cups of water in crockpot on low 4-5 hrs.

Yield 5 (1/2 cup portions)

I am able to purchase steel cut oatmeal in bulk at Sprouts usually when on sale for 50 cents a pound regular price $1.00 a pound...Cheaper then any where else...most places are $5.99 for 24 oz...

I prefer to cook it on my day off when I am around the house or early evening and then freeze it into 1/2 cup portions that quickly reheat in the microwave anywhere I have even taken it to work in my to go mug :O0 Yummy breakfast... These containers are 5 for $1.00 (8 oz or 1 cup)
