Well I am so happy! I did our grocery shopping today and here is the result!
Wal*Mart (BIG threat for me when it comes to not following my list)
2- 3 gal & 1- 5 gal jugs of water for the cooler $3.65 ( we were paying $6 per 5 gal jug with Home Depot!)
Eggs $1.64 (Yikes! but you have to have eggs)
Coffee Creamer $1.82*
Coffee Creamer $1.82*
Coke for on the way home instead of starbucks $1.23*
English Muffins $1.97
Bread $1.88
Total with tax $14.89
* I didn't really need these things, especially the coke, and could have gotten half & half instead of flavored creamer. I figure splurging on the creamer instead of going to starbucks all the time pays in itself! And the coke was cheaper than even just a tall brew at starbucks. But if I had skipped these 3 things all together I would have saved about $5.50!
Grocery Store
BBQ Sauce x 3 @ .99cents $2.97
Beef Shoulder steaks for Mother's Day $6.37 (package of 3)
Top round steak $2.84
Fuji Apples $2.02 for 2 pounds
Onion $.97
Romaine Lettuce x 2 @ $2.00
Oranges 3.45 pounds $3.38
Total with tax $21.79
So that brings my grocery shopping for the week to $36.68! I still have to buy milk @ Costco where it's $4.69 for 2 gallons x 2 which will bring my grocery total to $46.06 under my $50 budget that I have set for myself.
I was able to do all this when I inventoried all of the freezers and pantry! Use up what you have!!!
