Grocery Budget Update - April


 
I did beyond excellent with our grocery budget this month in that I hardly bought anything.  We ate quite well from items we already had squirreled away in our pantry on freezers.  We still have plenty left too. 

My non-food budget came in at $24.94 for one bag of cat food and two of litter, 40# sack of chicken feed and a 20# sack of scratch grains.  I had $17 in egg sales to put against the feed costs. 

Although there isn’t much this is what I bought this month:

I have $73.13 left to spend on groceries, 67¢ leftover from March and $73.80 leftover from this month.  Not a bad way to start off in May! 

How did you do with your grocery shopping this month?

    1. It gets trickier and trickier to stay on budget these days I think.

  2. Great job!
    I did not spend much this month because like you I stock up when things are on sale and this month the sales were just not that good so I was not shopping much, only picked up things we needed.

    1. I noticed the sales were pretty crummy too. Probably part of my lack of motivation.
