I use the term 'grocery' loosely to describe my spending this week. I used up all of the $59 I had left. Not all of it was for groceries though. I spent some at Lowe's and Dollar Tree for potting soil, plants, and pots. Taking that into account I have added a garden line to my budget sheet. I did not need the money for groceries this week, but I know that I am going to buy garden stuff so I need to plan ahead for it.
Now to the actual groceries - at Save-a-Lot I bought butter, milk, corn flakes, pudding mix, and crushed pineapple. The last three were needed for dishes for a family that suffered a death this week. I spent $11.38.
Second stop was Harvey's. I took advantage of a Unilever deal Buy $15 and get $5 off instantly. I bought eight bottles of salad dressing and a jar of mayonnaise. Counting the money I spent on coupons I paid about $4 for all of that. I also bought bread flour, cheese, and fruit. My total for everything was $29.60.
I have no set menu again this week. We have been busy the past couple of days, but I was not tempted to eat out. We have plenty of food on hand. A time or two our meals are "on your own" as we have had leftovers to finish up. Not having a menu makes meal planning a bit harder so I need to get back on track next week.
