Once again I concentrated my
grocery dollars on fresh produce, some dairy and a few loss leader items which
I stocked up on. My deficit at the
beginning of the month was $204.97 and is now sitting at $177.51. Little bit, by little bit I keep chipping
away at it.
Our nonfood items
came in a at $40.25. I try to keep this
under $25 and most months I'm well under so I don't mind going over this time. I bought two 16# bags of cat food on sale for
$8.99 each and I didn't want to miss out on that great buy. I also bought fabric softener, face wash for
the girls, shampoo and conditioner for all of us and 36 rolls of toilet paper
on sale for $10.
Here is the list of
all the food items I bought last month.
The items highlighted in red are my stock up items:
