Living on a Budget: Groceries $40 for 4
I am slowly adjusting to quieter grocery shopping trips, I miss the girls chit chat. Here is my weekly update on our Groceries $40 for 4.
Groceries from Dollar Tree and Rite Aid | Save A Lot Dollar Tree Groceries:
- $1.00 at Dollar Tree for a loaf of Nature’s Own 100% Whole Wheat Bread.
Rite Aid | Save A Lot Groceries:
- $5.24 at Rite Aid | Save A Lot for a package of Cheese, fresh Peaches, fresh Plums and fresh Nectarines (the fruit was on sale and were great for the girls lunches).
Groceries from BiLo BiLo Groceries:
- $9.97 at BiLo for 2 gallons of Milk and 1 container of Country Crock Spread with Calcium (BiLo still has the least expensive milk on our side of town $3.49 per gallon and the Country Crock was on sale. I used two reusable bags and BiLo gave me 10 cents off my entire purchase, every little bit helps.)
Groceries from Ingles Ingles Groceries:
- $21.60 at Ingles for 1 bag Bananas, 1 container Red Raspberries, 1 container Grape Tomatoes, 1 bag Green Grapes, 2 containers Strawberries, 2 Turkey Lunchables, 2 Chicken Lunchables, 1 Sweet Onion, 1 package Cube Steak (about 3 pounds) and 1 package 93% Lean Hamburger (Everything was marked down on clearance or on sale except the Lunchables which were $1. The girls asked if they could have them at least a couple times a month as a special “treat” for their lunches at school, I decided to be extra nice and see how well they eat them, the ones I picked up don’t expire until Nov / Dec so we have a couple months to try them out).
This week I spent $37.81 on groceries. Even though I was only a little under on my budgeted amount for the week I would like to see it even lower. This week I was able to stock up on several staple items as well as lunch bag items that we were needing. I wish the milk prices would go down because that is a large chunk of the amount we spend on groceries each week. Hopefully next week is an even better and we can come under budget for the week.
It is my goal to give you regular updates on this budget section so you can celebrate the good weeks with me and thump me on the bad weeks! As always you are welcomed to join the journey with me. I would love to hear your story and how you are doing too. The purpose of our family doing this it to watch our grocery spending while allowing us to feed our family, enjoy life, share with others, and yet stay on track with our budget.
Living on a Budget is a series of ways our family uses a budget to help keep us accountable with our finances. Life doesn’t always go as planned. We have used some of the ideas I will be sharing for years while others are ones we are just starting to implement as we continue finding ways to be creative and have fun with what we have been given. Having a plan in place allows us the freedom to be smart with what we have been given, get more creative when it is a tight (week, month, year or a season) and when necessary live a much more simplified life. A budget helps us stay on track so we have more opportunities to enjoy the many blessings we have been given as well as share what we have with others. There is so much more to life than having all the stuff. We may not have the newest or greatest items in our house, we drive used cars, and wear hand-me-down clothing…..however, if our family is taken care of and have love for each other and others we have more than all the riches in the world.

Living on a Budget: Groceries $40 for 4
A whole week at home, yay! It has literally been weeks since we have had an entire week at home together. I enjoyed having the opportunity return to a somewhat “normal” schedule although the traveling has been a lot of fun! Here is my weekly update on our Groceries $40 for 4.
Groceries from Walgreens, Rite Aid | Save A Lot, and Aldi's Walgreens Groceries:
- $2.95 at Walgreens for 1 bottle Coffee Mate French Vanilla, 1 bottle Coffee Mate Hazelnut, and 3 cans Mandarin Oranges.
Rite Aid | Save A Lot Groceries:
- $2.38 at Rite Aid | Save A Lot for 1 package Cinnamon Raisin Bagels (on clearance) and 3 packages English Muffins (on clearance).
Aldi’s Groceries:
- $29.65 at Aldi’s for 1 can Cooking Spray, 1 package fresh Spinach, 2 cans Cream of Mushroom Soup, 3 cans sliced Mushrooms, 2 packages Sharp Cheddar Cheese, 4 cans Diced Tomatoes with Green Chilies, 2 cans sliced Olives, 1 bottle Ranch Dressing, 4 cans Refried Beans, 1 box Raisins, 2 cans Black Beans, and 1 bag All Purpose Flour.
Groceries from Ingles Ingles Groceries:
- $4.95 at Ingle’s for 1 container Blackberries, 1 container Strawberries, 1 container diced Yellow Onions, 1 container Carrots and Celery, and 1 container Baby Romaine. (all the items were marked down on clearance to $0.99)
This week I spent $39.93 on groceries. Even though I barely squeaked under my budgeted amount for the week I was able to do it and stock up on several items on clearance. I hope to have an even better week for my next update since it has been hard going under budget. Several of our local stores have raised their prices A LOT over the last several weeks making it even more of a challenge to purchase groceries within the budget. I am happy to stock up again and look forward to a fresh start next week. Part of our groceries went towards making a meal for a friend who was in the hospital this week as well as hosting, thankful for the ability to share what we have been given with others.
It is my goal to give you regular updates on this budget section so you can celebrate the good weeks with me and thump me on the bad weeks! As always you are welcomed to join the journey with me. I would love to hear your story and how you are doing too. The purpose of our family doing this it to watch our grocery spending while allowing us to feed our family, enjoy life, share with others, and yet stay on track with our budget.
Living on a Budget is a series of ways our family uses a budget to help keep us accountable with our finances. Life doesn’t always go as planned. We have used some of the ideas I will be sharing for years while others are ones we are just starting to implement as we continue finding ways to be creative and have fun with what we have been given. Having a plan in place allows us the freedom to be smart with what we have been given, get more creative when it is a tight (week, month, year or a season) and when necessary live a much more simplified life. A budget helps us stay on track so we have more opportunities to enjoy the many blessings we have been given as well as share what we have with others. There is so much more to life than having all the stuff. We may not have the newest or greatest items in our house, we drive used cars, and wear hand-me-down clothing…..however, if our family is taken care of and have love for each other and others we have more than all the riches in the world.
