    Walgreens & BiLo Groceries

     

    Groceries from Walgreens:

    • $3.94 at Walgreens for 2 Pure Bottle Water Packages (24 count each).  I had a raincheck from back in September for 24 pack of Pure Water for $1.99 each.   With upcoming road trips and hot months these will come in handy.

    Groceries from BiLo:

    • $12.56 at BiLo for 2 gallons of Pet Whole Milk, 2 gallons of Pet 2% Milk, and 1 package of Ground Hamburger (plus $1.50 clearance coupon sticker).

     

    Save A Lot Groceries

    Groceries from Save A Lot:

    • $15.71 at Save A Lot for Clearance Ground Beef, Mix Vegetables, Corn, Mushrooms, 5 packages of Hotdogs, Root Beer, Cola, Ketchup, Mustard, Clearance Peaches, Cheese Singles, Half & Half and Heavy Cream.  Many of these items were on sale at Save A Lot this week plus the additional discount for clearance items.

    I am excited to be back doing our Groceries $40 for 4 budget again.  This week I spent $39.21 on groceries.  Even though I was really close to budget I was still able to stock up on several items.  Thankfully I was able to keep the amount within reason although I would like to see a little extra left over for those weeks when I find a really good deal or go a little over.  The box sale helped us restock our pantry plus shopping the sales allows us to stay within our budget.  Hopefully next week I will do better.

    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.
