This month I didn't spent much on groceries and we didn't need
much either. I only shopped twice and
that suited me just fine. Other than
produce and dairy items I mainly filled in with items to round out what we
already had on hand and items we were low on.
The freezers and pantry are still very well stocked.
A little dented, but the seals were intact |
I came across quite a few good markdown items so I splurged a bit
on lunchmeat and those Little Smokies.
My girls loves those. And yes,
there really is a box of Twinkies® and a box of Ding Dongs® on this list, I had a
moment of weakness.

My non food items budget is $25 a month and I had $14.41 leftover
from March to roll over and add to it making it $39.41. I bought a lot of non food items this month. Cat food, litter, toiletries and stocking up
on feminine hygiene items accounted for me spending $38.50 leaving me with 91¢
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, peanut butter and
as always meat and cheese. Did you stock
up on anything this month? Any super deals?
This budget month runs from
April 1 through April 30.
You are so lucky to have a store that sells discounts. Walmart does put out a rolling cart of discount breads. Which I will look thru. Just bought 2 french bread for 50c each. I enjoy reading you! :)
ReplyDeleteGood score on the French bread! I do enjoy my markdowns. Always on the prowl. :)
DeleteNice!! I really like those months when I am well stocked and can come in way under my grocery budget. It hasn't happened much lately but it's nice when it does happen! :)
ReplyDeleteIt has been awhile for me too!
Deletegreat price on the veggie tray
ReplyDeletedo you have a separate freezer? If not how do you store so much juice and milk?
