Okay, not a spree, per se, but $35 is more than I’ve had to spend on groceries in a month. Here’s what I got:
a head of cabbage: 84ΒΆ
bag of flour: $2.39
five chicken thighs: $4.90
ranch dressing: $1.00
box of rotini, box of macaroni: $1.00
three cans green beans, two cans corn, one can peas: $2.00
frozen mixed vegetables: $1.00
sour cream: $1.00
generic Mrs Grass: $1.40
vegetable oil: $1.46
ten pounds potatoes: $2.69
cottage cheese: $2.00
two bags potato chips: $3.34
gallon milk: $2.50
three bags shredded cheese: $5.00
one pound lunch meat: $2.50
Total: $35.02!
The chips and the cottage cheese were luxury items I almost never buy anymore. But they’ve both been a welcome addition to lunches this week.
The flour was more expensive at this store than where I usually shop. It was still cheaper to buy the flour and oil than buy pizza crust, biscuits and bread.
With these filler and staple items, I’m back on track and have two pages of dinners and freezer meals I can prepare!
