Grocery Wrap Up – July

I stayed right on budget this month!  I was extra careful this month not to go over like I did last month.  A lot of what I bought this month was stock-up items. 

I did the majority of my shopping at the very beginning of the month.  I went back to the store once for additional produce for salads.  Our non-food budget spent this month was $7.75, mostly for tissues, food storage bags (double coupons) and some bath soap. 

Here is the final tally of everything I purchased this month:

The items in blue are my stock-up items.  I am really looking forward to garden fresh produce.  Not only will it taste wonderful but it will free up cash to spend on other items to stock the freezer and pantry.
