Time To Go Grocery Shopping Again!

Remember when I went grocery shopping the last time, and planned to have it last at least a month? We went to Wal-Mart and did that big shopping trip on January 19th. I spent a total of $304 for groceries that day, which included toiletries, paper good, and other miscellanous stuff as well.

In between times, we went to a local market for things like fresh veggies and fruits, milk, eggs, and ice cream. We spent another $197 in those in between trips. So, for 38 days, we have spent a total of $501 for groceries. That comes to About $13 per day or $92 per week.

I also still have a pound of breakfast sausage, a pound of bacon, one can of salmon, 4 cans of tuna, a can of spam, and 6 pounds of dried beans, along with an assortment of canned goods. If we really wanted to get down and dirty with the frugalness, we could put off going grocery shopping for at least another week, maybe two. But we aren’t–we’re going to do the big shopping trip again tomorrow.

As usual, I have made my menu plan and then made my shopping list. Tomorrow I’ll post my menu plan for the coming month and let you know how we did on the shopping.

    Wow, that’s pretty good. But Mother Hubbard, your cupboard is bare.

    I could call you Ole Mother Hubbard. Looks like a good time to defrost the freezer. You sure are a good shopper and planer.

    I am trying to eat the last of everything right now. We are moving, so the less groceries I pack the better! Then we are getting the new kitchen remodeled, so still no major grocery shop for awhile. I can’t wait to finally have food in my cupboards again!

    Well done you. I just talked to a guy today who plans to do the same thing you’re doing when he retires. That’s just cool.

    I wish I were so organized with my shopping. Sadly, for lack of more time and energy, I end up grabbing a few coupons and just tossing whatever looks good in the cart. Nothing lasts long with teenagers in the house anyway.

    I was thinking Old Mother Hubbard, but it looks like those folks up there already made the joke about the cupboard being bare!
