This Week’s Grocery Shopping
So here’s how this week is going. Saturday I spent $2 on two boxes of cereal, and my husband spent $8 for 4-12 packs of pop. Today I spent $12.52 for 1 1/2 pound of bulk cheese, 1 pound shredded cheese, one tub of cottage cheese, one six pack of yogurt, one gallon of milk, two loaves of organic bread and a little more than four pounds of bananas at Kroger.
Then at Meijer, I spent $4.19 on two packs of cherries, two packs of pitted prunes, a pound of lasagna noodles, one package of six 100-calorie cookies.
So far, then, $26.41. I don’t intend to shop anymore this week, so I don’t think that’s too shabby.
Aldi Comes Through
For me, this is the start of the new week (I go Thursday to Thursday, as the paycheck comes in). Today I spent $4.19 on two gallons of milk at Aldi ($1 each). Large ketchup ($1.19) and one pound of strawberries ($1)O…all at Aldi–Aldi comes through again).
Grocery Shopping on $10 or less finished
I finished my grocery shopping. In my last post, I had gotten up to $3.93. I paid $1.50 for a loaf of organic bread (day old) and $1.95 for green beans and strawberries at the clearance rack at Meijer, bringing my total to $7.38!!
I don’t think I can do this every week, but maybe once a month I could do it to use up some of the pantry!
A Week’s Grocery on $10 or less!
This week I gave myself a challenge. Grocery shopping on $10 or less.
In the interest of fairness, I should say that I have a lot of canned goods and frozen meat.
But, anyway, here it goes: two gallons of milk for .79 each (marked down at Kroger for their due date of August fifth), $1.58, a loaf of bread for $1.29, bananas $1.06 (.44 per pound). So far, it’s $3.93.
I’m planning on buying vegetables on the reduced counter at Meijer…and that’s it for the week!
