Grocery Spending and Meal Plan

I had $50 for groceries this week.  Since I wanted to save some for stocking up later, I put $10 aside and headed out with $40.  We did not particularly need much so part of this week's purchases were for stocking up.  Here is a picture of my purchases with a breakdown below.

 

 

Save-a-Lot - $5.56

 

2 avocados

2 1/2 pounds bananas

cereal

2 lemons

 

Harvey's - $27.92

 

salt

instant grits

maple syrup (this week's splurge)

orange juice

2 gallons milk

half & half

2 blocks cheese

 

That leaves me with $6.52.  I plan to get a 15 pound bag of potatoes and 4 pounds of carrots with the money.  The store was out of stock today.  I will be using part of those in meals and dehydrating the rest for later. 

 

 

Meals for the week are as follows:

 

Tomato soup

Brunswick stew and grilled cheese

Cubed steak, parmesan pasta, green beans, deviled eggs

Barbecue sandwiches with potato wedges

Spaghetti pie, breadsticks, and salad

Pizza

Waffles or pancakes and sausage
