WE MADE IT! $500 for a month of groceries: week 5, $33 budget grocery haul and meals, family of 3!

Hello friends! This is the 5th and last installment of my January 2024 challenge, in which I wanted to spend no more than $500 for a month of groceries. After going slightly over budget in the previous weeks, we were left with a $33,41 budget for these last days of January. I spent $35.2 and ended up being just $1.79 over the $500 monthly budget so I take this as a major win!
Let me know in the comments, what would you have done differently with this budget?
Here are some of the recipes I used this week:
Pork lo mein (very modified): https://thewoksoflife.com/pork-lo-mein/
