I'm bringing $40 to the farmers market today, so let's see how far that gets us. Unfortunately, I fear that I'm going to be getting one of each today. Here the infamous $10 raspberries. Unfortunately, I fear that I'm going to be getting one of each today. So I'm gonna get, I think, three of these. $36.00 $4.00 remaining. 36 okay. $36.00 $4.00 remaining. Well, there goes our budget because that was $35 and I don't know, that's really crazy. And I know you guys are gonna be like, what the honestly? I don't think I'm getting much else other than just milk and maybe a little breakfast snack. We'll still be over budget, but it's fine. Hi, can I just do a half gallon of whole milk? Now I think the last thing I'm looking for is just like a little sweet treat for breakfast. I spot my favorite cinnamon rolls. Thank you so much. I say this was our most successful farmers market trip to date, not in the sense of our budget because that's just like out the window, but we found so many good things and I even got a matcha. We're gonna do a taste test. It's like nuttier, but it still has like hints of vanilla. It's really good, but it's just like not too sweet, which is actually refreshing. It's time for our haul and a breakdown of what everything costs. We got our usual half gallon of whole milk for $7.50. Got one of my favorite cinnamon rolls and these are so good, but they are $8. We're gonna get controversial guys. Each one of these berries was $10. I got some raspberries, blueberries and strawberries. Three apples came out to about $5. Then I picked up a matcha for $10.89. Awful. That's like really bad. Our total for everything, it came out to $61.39. I did have $40 in cash though, so I'm gonna say that I only spent $20 because that's all that my card was charged. I will see you guys next Saturday.
