Since I have gotten a good leg to stand on I have challenged myself to only spend $60.00 a week on groceries. ($240.00 a month) This is about half of my normal grocery bill! Since its a new month I started my first shopping list for this week and it was a bit more challenging than I anticipated. However, it allows me to focus on what we really need vs. what we can do with out. Here is my list for our first week:
2 bottles era laundry detergent (Why buy more when I have 20 mo. worth? Cause with my coupons and store sale it ends up being $1.50 for a 50 load bottle!)
6 lunchables w/fruit
2 bottles Kens salad dressing
1 carton Eggs
2 loaves wheat bread
6 boxes raisen brand cereal
3 cases diet coke (For Chris-Remember I don't Drink Soda!)
2 boxes ritz crackers
1 bag shredded cheese
2 boxes jiffy pop popcorn
1 gallon milk
3 (1 lb) packages strawberries
8 (5oz) Hamburgers
4 (5 oz) bacon wrapped fillet minion.
Total should be $60.43....Let's see how we do after all is said and done!
