Saturday I stopped by Marsh on my way home to get some ground chuck. We had some at home in the freezer but I was hungry, Brian wasn't feeling well and I didn't want to take the time to thaw what we had. Since it was on sale (at my ideal price) I went ahead and stopped to get some fresh. I also had to grab a few limes for our homemade pico de gallo (yum!).
4 pkgs ground chuck at $1.68/lb - $13.14
limes - $2.00
Total spent was $15.14 and I saved $12.59 or 45%.
And then on Sunday after church, I went with LeeAnn (Brian still wasn't feel well!) to get our regular groceries plus a few things we needed for our Christmas in July dinner.
4 12pks Mt Dew Code Red was $20.36 for $10.00
2 Wavy Lays was $7.98 for $3.99
4 Creamette pastas was $6.76 for $4.00
6 pkgs ground chuck at $1.68/lb - $10.95
2 pkgs chuck steak at $1.98/lb - $5.56
1 Hormel pork roast was $5.99 for $2.99
sugar - $3.15
bag of ice - $1.89
rice - $ 2.19
minced onions - $4.29
french fried onions - $4.39
Jiffy corn mix - $.44
red bell pepper - $1.88
Marsh bread - $.99
(all for the Christmas dinner I prepared yesterday - $19.22)
Fresh fruits and veggies, bread, buns, milk, eggs, cheddar pasta salad (of course!) and lunch meat made up the rest of the trip. Total spent was $82.72 and I saved $46.16 or 36%.
If you add up these two trips, plus my Kroger trip from Saturday - you'll see I went over budget. Part of that was because I'd had leftover money from the last two weeks but then after yesterday's trip to Marsh - I still went over by about $10. Not exactly what I wanted to do to myself but we had such a good dinner last night - I'm way okay with it.
