Groceries: Payday Friday!
First, some mid-week shopping while out and about...
Aldi:
Total: $5
From Price Chopper, because on sale:
Total: $13
And now the biggies... Friday's shopping trips to Costco and Aldi.
Total spent, pictured = $153.
I bought organic ground beef from Costco. While I know it is not 100% grass-fed, I like knowing that it is a little "cleaner" than regular beef. (I think ground turkey from Aldi was already in the freezer... so it's not pictured.)
I also spent $28 on non-paleo food that will be taken to church or shared with friends as gifts. And I spent $6 on household items (zip-top freezer bags, kleenex, etc.). Oh, and I bribed the kids to be good shoppers by getting lunch from the Costco snack bar when we were finished :)
So far, we are on track with the grocery budget in each category except for produce - that one will have to be adjusted. I don't think we will use all our meat money, so that money will be transferred to the produce category. This is a little weird putting so many details of what I've bought on here, but it will help me and maybe it will help someone else, too.
Have a good weekend!
Aldi:
- 5 lbs. bananas
- chocolate chips (took to friends' house to make a dessert, which we did eat)
Total: $5
From Price Chopper, because on sale:
- 1.25 lbs. ground beef (needed before Friday's Costco trip)
- 8 lbs. frozen veggies (in 1 lb. bags) - 79 cents each, no limit
- laundry detergent - $1.99 (For back-up, because I sometimes run out of the detergent I like, Charlie's Soap, before I can get more.)
- no HFCS ketchup - 88 cents (We try not to eat much ketchup due to the sugar, but the kids do use some.)
Total: $13
