August Grocery Shopping - Week 2

Today's Grocery Receipt

Earlier this month, on August 2, I spent $10.12 on groceries.  And the next day, I spent another $5.55 to buy 1 gallon milk ($2.59), 4 bread rolls (4/$1.00), 1 cantaloupe (@$.25/lb; $.97), and 1 lettuce ($.99), making my grocery spending for week 1 total $15.67.

I didn't grocery shop last weekend.  But today, I stopped at the grocery store on my way home from the office and bought:

1 box crackers (unsalted tops saltines) = $1.50
2 cans refrigerated biscuit dough; $.50@ = $1.00
1 gal. milk = $2.69
1 quart ice cream = $2.50
2 cans tuna, $1@ = $2.00
1 package bacon (12 oz.) = $2.49
1 kielbasa sausage (14 oz.) = $2.50

I also bought 2 cans of cat food, $.89@ = $1.78

The total came to $16.46; but when I deducted the cat food, my grocery total came to $14.68.


So, my August grocery spending, so far, totals:  $15.67 + $14.68 = $30.35.
My grocery budget is $75 (although, I might take $25 from my Miscellaneous category and raise it to $100, with daughter coming down to visit for 10 days; I'll see how it goes)
Amount left in the budget:  $75 - $30.35 = $44.65

I can see myself buying some salmon steaks ($3.99/lb) over the weekend, since daughter loves salmon, raspberries ($.99/6 oz.), and stock up on sugar ($1.99/4 lbs.).  Perhaps more fruits, as well.

How is your grocery budget coming along?
