Planned and shopped, by week

Planned is the week’s recipes at the price book’s latest prices; leftover nights cost nothing, so a week that eats its batches comes out cheaper. Shopped is committed receipts. The line is the $150.00 weekly budget.

Tossed

Leftovers binned, at what a serving cost to make, and groceries binned, at the latest price for their weight. A toss with no price is counted but not costed, so the money is a floor.
