Am I underfeeding my girl?
She weighs 376 grams empty, I feed her 2 adult mice,every 5 days, which comes up to 40 grams rougly give or take..
The petsmart I get my f/t doesn't offer a small rat. They go from adult mice, to medium rat, and she isn't quite thick enough yet for that it seems surprisingly.
I'm spend.. 25-31 dollars every 20 days to feed her, can't quite remember  4 large mice in a box, I buy 2 boxes at a time.. so 8 mice last me.. 20 days with a 5 day feeding schedule?
Should I be going it about it different?

40 grams every 5 days for a 376 gram snake is fine. You're not underfeeding her.
If you're tracking her weight and she's gaining weight and seems healthy, you're doing it right.
It is okay to use pine bedding for snakes.
It is okay to feed live food to snakes.

IMO you're spending too much! If your girl is taking f/t easily I'd buy some feeders in bulk: shipping may seem expensive but in the long run it will be cheaper for you.

You are definitely over paying, I think you will be better off feeding her a small rat every week.

Petsmart will rob you blind on f/t prices. Either bulk order online, or to save on shipping, see if anyone has local feeders through facebook groups or craigslist.

Part of it depends on where you are.
I'm in Florida. This is where I'm buying mine from now:
