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?
Wow... that's awesome!! I'm under budget for the week, but only by $10 & change... but that'll be gone today as I need some Gluten-Free stuff for myself... lol!
ReplyDeleteIt gets trickier and trickier to stay on budget these days I think.
DeleteGreat job!
ReplyDeleteI 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.

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