My Grocery Budget - March Update


I happily spent a vast majority of our grocery budget on fresh produce.  I also stocked up on cream cheese, sour cream, tomato sauce and pasta among of few other things.


My non food items budget is $25 a month and I had $3.11 leftover from February to roll over and add to it making it $28.11.  I bought aluminum foil, some cleaning supplies and stocked up on toilet paper spending $15.11  and leaving me with $12.63 left to roll over next month and use.


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

Next month I am hoping for a good buy on sugar and as always meat and cheese.  Did you stock up on anything this month?  Any super deals?

    1. Thank you Dawn. I just keep plugging away at it. I have to admit I was pretty excited with some of the buys I found this month.
