My Grocery Budget - February Update

My grocery shopping this month was much different than last month.  We really didn't need much so I concentrated my dollars on keeping us stocked up on produce and dairy items.  Then I focused on sales and my stock up list.  I was easily able to stay close to budget this month, more than making up for going over last month.  We are going into March with only a 33¢ deficit now.

My non food items budget is $25 a month and I had $10.73 leftover from January to roll over and add to it making it $35.73.  That was great because I needed to replenish our supply of kitty food.  I still didn't spend it all and have $3.11 left to roll over next month and use.

In addition to the cat food, I bought 4 boxes of tissues for 75¢ each and I used a gift card and two $1 OFF coupons to buy two bottles of laundry detergent.  I also used the gift card to pick up a bottle of shampoo and a bottle of hair conditioner.

I stocked up on pork roasts that were on sale for 99¢ a pound, canned tomatoes that were 50¢ a can, mayonnaise on sale for 2/$5 and pasta at 69¢ and 79¢ a package.

Here is the list of food I bought.  The items highlighted in red are my stock up items:
