Can we do it...?

We have a bit of a grocery challenge going on in our house right now. This month, I was determined to stay under budget on our groceries. Not an easy task, especially with a kid in tackle football. It was going well until I realized that we came close to the limit a few days ago. So, with one week left, we decided to see if we could make it until September on the current contents of our fridge, freezer and pantry. The only exception is Milk. I am weird about making sure we have the freshest milk, so I only buy a gallon at a time and that lasts less than 2 days in our house. I have enough in the budget to buy a couple of gallons this week but nothing else. I think it is going to be OK but we might have some weird combinations of food towards the end :-)
