  • Living on a Budget: Groceries $40 for 4

    The phrase “it’s a wild….wild….week” (kind of a spin off the phrase it’s a mad mad world) kept going through my head this week.  I don’t see life slowing down for the next….well few months at least.  Here is my weekly update on our Groceries $40 for 4.

     

    Groceries from  Save A Lot | RiteAid

    Save A Lot | RiteAid Groceries:

    • $11.03 at Save A Lot | RiteAid for 1 gallon Milk, 1 bag Cinnamon Raisin Bagels (on clearance), 2 trays Cube Steak (on clearance), 2 packs Sliced Cheese, and 1 bag fresh Carrots.

    Groceries from Ingles

    Ingles Groceries:

    • $20.20 at Ingles for 2 bags Apples (clearance), 1 bag shredded Mozzarella Cheese (32 oz), 1 bag shredded Mexican Cheese (32 oz), 1 container Butter spread, 1 large container fresh Spinach (clearance), and 1 container fresh Mushrooms (clearance).  (All the items were on sale or clearance.)

    We were able to stock up on a couple great items this week.  It was a busy week so I didn’t get a chance to shop around much, it was a maintenance week for us.  I hope fill you in soon on some of the exciting stuff going on in our family! 🙂 Thanks for hanging in there with me while life is spinning around me!

    This week I spent $31.23 on groceries.  I was under on my budgeted amount for the week, yay!  I was happy to find fresh produce and meat on sale that we can use for several meals.  I hope that next week is better week, back to normal, and we can come under budget!

    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

    It was a wild week, our family has a lot of fun adventures coming up so I am trying to stop on top of everything.  Hopefully I will be able to share a little bit more about our upcoming plans before long.  I was not able to get to the grocery store until late on Friday but thankfully was able to pick up almost everything I needed this week even if I did got a little over budget.   Here is my weekly update on our Groceries $40 for 4.

    Groceries from Save A Lot | Rite Aid, Walmart, Ingles, and Walgreens

    Save A Lot | Rite Aid Groceries:

    • $7.90 at Save A Lot | Rite Aid for 2 boxes Blue Bonnet sticks of butter, 2 boxes Quaker Chewy Granola Bars, 1 container Butter Spread (3 lb), and 1 bag Carrots (2 lbs).  (All the items were on sale or clearance.)

    Walmart Groceries:

    • $0.00 at Walmart for 1 bag Whole Wheat Sandwich Rolls (on clearance), 1 bag Everything French Bread (on clearance), 1 bag Chocolate Chips, 1 box Popcorn (8 count), 2 liter Mountain Dew (price matched), and 1 box Idaho Potatoes (free product coupon).  (Bought items on sale or clearance and paid with a gift card so the total was zero.)

    Ingles Groceries:

    • $42.84 at Ingles for 1 jar Peter Pan Natural Peanut Butter, 1 can Tuna Fish, 1 Starkist Tuna Fish, 2 boxes Pop Secret Popcorn, 2 loaves Laura Lynn Bread, 4 bags Laura Lynn Shredded Cheese, 2 blocks Laura Lynn Sharp Cheddar Cheese, 2 Laura Lynn sliced Cheese (16 count each), 2 boxes Breakfast Biscuits / Pancakes (on clearance, 10 count each), 6 containers Fresh Blueberries (on clearance), 3 bags Snow Peas (on clearance), 1 container Cherry Chocolate Covered Pretzels (on clearance), 1 container Roasted Soybeans (on clearance), 2 bottles Bare Naked Fruit Drinks (on clearance), 2 Laura Lynn English Muffins (6 count each) and 2 sweet Yellow Onions.  Not pictured 3 bags of chips we purchased to take over to a friends house.   (Everything I bought this week at Ingles was on sale, marked down, or on clearance.  All the produce was marked down to $0.99 cents, I was able to pick up some more cheese on sale, and used some coupons for the items purchased!)

    Walgreens Groceries:

    • $0.65 at Walgreens for 2 dozen Eggs, 1 S6 Power Bar, 1bag Domino Sugar (4 lbs), and 1 two liter A&W Root Beer (everything was on sale, I used $9.59 in coupons, and I received $1.89 in Register Rewards back to use towards my next purchase.)

    This week I spent $51.39 on groceries.  Even though I was over on my budgeted amount for the week I was able to stock up on some items at the same time plus I had a little extra to spend since I had come under budget in previous weeks.  I was thrilled to stock up on produce (blueberries) and diary items as well as other great fridge & pantry items this week.  I hope that next week is better week and we can come under budget!

    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.
