Yesterday I went to the grocery store and spent a total of $34.17 here is what I bought:
$1.00 1 can of baked beans
$4.39 2 cans of premium canned chicken breast (for chicken salad for lunches)
$1.50 1 package of peeled organic carrots
$.58 1 crown of broccoli (I still have some left from last week)
$3.46 2.05 lbs of red delicious apples
$8.99 prepared Stouffer's Meatloaf (2 lbs, six individual slices with gravy)
$4.49 1 box of chocolate popsicles (still have some left from last week but decided not to run out!)
$1.29 1 dozen large eggs
$4.38 2 small tubs of butter/spread (this will last a while)
$2.50 1 gallon of unsweetened iced tea (this will last a while)
$1.59 1 quart of whole milk
The meatloaf is for the bulk of my dinners this week. I'll have one slice with veggies for 6 meals. I was going to buy ground meat and make my own, but ground meat was not on sale this week so this option was actually less expensive, and I have had it before and really like it. And it's easy, just heat and eat. I really don't mind eating the same thing for several meals.
This grocery store, Weis, is right down the street and very convenient. I find thier prices are generally stable and they have decent sales. I could make a special trip to the Lidl's where eggs and milk are a bit less expensive, but it just isn't worth it to me to drive 3 miles away to save about $1.00. I'm still trying to limit how many stores I go into until I can get vaccinated.
So far for the month of March I have spent a total of $101.08. My goal for the month is to stay at or under $200. I only plan to shop once a week on Mondays.
