I have to admit I was a bit disappointed with my grocery
shopping this month. I didn't have a lot
of time and I didn't take the time to make lists or really think things through
like I normally do. The ads at the
stores weren't particularly all that good either. I ended up going to Wal-Mart much and
purchasing much more than I normally would and I don't think that saved me
money at all and to be honest, the quality of the produce purchased left a lot
to be desired.
By the time Thanksgiving rolled around I knew I needed to up
my game so I got up early on a Sunday morning and went to Trader Joes. Best produce I purchased all month and it
made me very happy. So lesson learned. I did not have any non food purchases this month so no need
to use my budgeted $25 for that.
Here is the food I bought this month:
$210.76 ÷ 30 days ÷3
people = $2.34 per person per day
How did you do this month?
Any super buys you stocked up on?
This budget month runs from November 1 through November 30
You still did really well. I agree with you on Walmart produce, definitely not the freshest stuff.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I just didn't feel I got as much value for my $$ spent. Live and learn. ;)
DeleteHow much did you spend on green onions at Walmart? It looks like 70-something dollars?
ReplyDeleteHoly moly! Those were some expensive onions!!! You just made my day!! Fixing that typo sure made a HUGE difference! No wonder I had so much money left at the end of the month. Oh my goodness!
