Week Two Summary I did it!! I actually came in under my $177 budget this week. Thankfully, there were very few personal items to purchase this week so that helped a lot. I did need to pick up extra meat this week for a special Sunday night dinner, but that was my only big-ticket item. I even picked up a few extra items to make a special Valentine’s Day dessert. Once again, I did the shopping in two trips spending $142.87 on the first trip, and $25.75 on the second and finished with $8.38 left in the bank. I took the competitor grocery store flyers with me once again but the savings this week were less impressive than last, totalling just $1.72. That’s due in part to the already low prices at my grocery store and the fact that most of the items on my grocery list were fresh or specialty items not found in the competitor’s flyers this week. I then made a mid-week run for bread and milk for a total of $7.65. That leaves me .73 cents under budget this week! Our entrees for this week were: Lasagna Roll-Ups (with gluten-free rice noodles) Sticky Pork Pesto Tilapia Bacon Mac ‘n Cheese Open night: the kids chose ‘breakfast for dinner’ so we had French toast, fruit and bacon Homemade Pizza Lamb Shanks The flyers for the coming week have arrived so it’s time to do my homework and check for sale items to take advantage of on my next grocery run. Fingers crossed I can come under budget again next week. Enjoy your weekend! |
