I think I did really well
with my minimal grocery spending this month.
Of course it really helped that I had a $25 gift card to use at
Albertson's so my out of pocket spending was really very little. Most of what I bought was produce and a few
pantry items we were running low on.
Nearly everything I purchase was at a discounted price too, either a
digital coupon, on sale or markdown.
My Albertson's grocery haul, nearly all of it was paid for with a gift card
I did not spend anything
on nonfood items as we are still really well stocked up. That makes two months in a row of zero
nonfood spending.
My largest grocery haul came from Winco and included a lot of fresh & frozen produce
My total spent for the
month came in at $62.35 leaving me with a total of $104.82 of unspent funds so
far this year that I will be rolling over to use if I need it. The $25 nonfood budget that I did not spend went
into my savings account.
We ate really well with
loads of healthy food on the menu. Did
you find any really good deals this month?
Did you do any stocking up?
I am stocking up on flour, as I have grocery rewards which enable me to purchase 5 lbs. bags for $0.99. I earned more points this weekend by purchasing quantities of the store's one day only sale--boneless pork loin $1.49/lb, boneless, skinless chicken thighs $1.49/lb, and canned tomato sauce, $0.50/29oz. can. Since we are planning a move late winter, I was hesitant to buy the tomato sauce, but went ahead anyway. I've rotated cans, and am making a concerted effort to use things up! I love a good grocery challenge.
ReplyDeleteThe salad looks delicious. I’ve been doing a little extra stocking this month.
