Marked down beef and butter on sale for $1.99 a pound |
I spent $5.55 of our monthly $25 non food budget on the usual cat food and litter. Nothing too terribly exciting there. The remaining $19.45 will be added to last month's surplus and rolled forward to use in May.
This Fred Meyer haul was loaded with markdowns and super sales
Cheeses and pasta
sauces were on 99¢ each!
|
I was able, once again, to find some terrific markdowns on meat and added that to our freezer stash as well as to our meal plans during the month. I stocked up on a killer deal on packages of grated cheese as well as jars of pasta sauce for only 99¢ each. I topped off some of our dried herbs and spices by purchasing from the bulk bins at Winco. I save so much by doing that.

More markdown bargains on beef steaks! Yum! |
It was a pretty good month again for sales and bargains. I did go over what I like to by $36.42 but all in all not too bad. How did you do with your grocery shopping goals? What great buys did you find?
This budget month runs from April 1 through
April 30
Hi - Could you please give us your weekly keto menu plan - you make it look so easy - I love the way you manage to cook for the week - I really want to do this - so busy outside now and I hate grocery shopping and menu planning. Thanks - Mary Ellen in Wisconsin (Spring has finally arrived)
ReplyDeleteHappy Spring Mary Ellen! So you need more keto meal ideas? I'll do my best to get more posts up here soon. I know coming up with ideas can be a bit of a challenge.
