11/19 Publix $21.42 Saved $14.81 with BOGO's ad Store Coupons. IBotta - saved $3.20 Progress
11/20 Aldi $85.95 What the heck? I just noticed I was charged an extra time for Christmas cut out cookies, and I really need to STOP buying paper plates, and plastic cups. We have a dishwasher...so that would save about $20 a month.
Grocery Shopping To Date: 589.71 (includes dog food, cat food, litter, pee pads)
Tracking the grocery spending for this month has been eye-opening... and the month is not yet over. But, It has been MONTHS since I have tracked any of my household spending. I would just wing it. I think since I have been more diligent financially, I felt the pressure to "stock-up" on specials to try to save money.
It's a re-learning experience for me, but I am embracing it.
When you buy st sale prices, bogo, or specials, eventually all food you eat is cheaper than a weekly buy of what you need. But, then cutting back on the amount spent is the result of only buying special prices. I do it all the time and announce to my friend how little things cost. Of course, things like milk and bananas cannot be bought ahead of time.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to when the spending to save settles down and it will... eventually. And it is fun to announce to all how little you did pay!
DeletePinto beans and cornbread for me tonight and I could not be more thrilled. I LOVE BEANS!
ReplyDeleteSounds wonderfully filling!
