I have decided to stick with my $150 a month grocery budget for 2009. (This is essentially $37.50 a week.) My budget includes all HBA & grocery purchases. I typically only spend $20-$28 a week on groceries for my husband, two cats and I. However, I wanted to give myself some extra wiggle room for stockpiling so that's why it's a little more.
I'm lucky to live near a store with great discount produce - it's not always the best place to shop (crowded & long lines) but I almost always can get the lowest price around (without coupons)!
Here's my first purchase of the year:
Mayo- $1.99
Pie Crust - $1.69
Gala apples - $.78 (@ $.99lb)
Green apples - $.81 (@ $.99lb)
4 pounds of chicken - $6.66 ($1.69lb) cheaper than BIG Y or S&S this week!!!
1 pound of cheddar cheese - $3.79 (ouch, but better than $2 an 8oz bag!)
1 eggplant - $.91 (@ $.79lb)
1 head of garlic - $.46 (@ $2.69lb)
Total: $17.09
Total left for month:$132.91
Sorry for the lapse in posting - it feels great to be back! :)
