June Grocery Shopping: Week 3

Another nice, cooler day.  I was busy with office work, but during a break in the morning, I stripped daughter's bed and did a load of laundry.  During a break for lunch (the fried chicken my friend had brought for me, yesterday), I confirmed my appointment with the radiation oncologist.

Later in the evening, after I had finished office work for the day and it was cooler, I went grocery shopping.  I really didn't need much, just some fresh fruit, half & half, bread, and juice.  I was planning to get the strawberries that were advertised at $1.25/lb., but they were all sold out and I didn't feel like going to the service desk to get a rain check, etc.  I decided to get the corn while I was in the store.  


Week 3 Groceries

1 loaf of bread = $1.29
1 half & half (for daughter's coffee) = $1.79
1 passion fruit juice = $2.49
2 ears of corn @ 3/$1.00 = $.66
bananas @ $.69/lb = $1.12

Total spent:  $7.35

Total spent on groceries so far in June = $9.78 + $11.16 + $7.35 = $28.29


Receipt
After I put away the groceries, I put away the laundry, remade daughter's bed, wiped one of the window sills in her room, and did my decluttering for the day:

June 23 Decluttering

4 more crochet magazines
3 food storage containers with lids
1 group of 4 condiment containers
4 lids without containers
= 12 items


Still later in the evening, I picked up my daughter from the airport.  So good to see her again and have her home for the weekend! 

Today, I am grateful for:

- Daughter had a safe flight and is home for the weekend.
- Another cooler day (forecast says another heatwave this weekend!)
- Being able to do my own grocery shopping again!
- Getting my office work done.
- A working washing machine.

Tomorrow, I will be having a consultation with the radiation oncologist to start on the next phase of the cancer treatment.

  2. Praying for your radiation consultation.. Hope it all goes well, and you will soon have it done.. Proud daughter was able to come home and be with you. Such a blessing to have our children with us.
    Great job with your decluttering. I went though dresser drawers and put several items in the donate pile, and a couple in the garbage. thanks for your encouragement.. Seeing what you accomplish, encourages me to continue . Smile.

  3. Look at you getting rid of food containers! That's another area where I stockpile because "you never know" but I really don't need as many as I have, especially since I've started using mostly glass Pyrex containers for the leftovers. So I was thinking yesterday that I should go through the cabinets again to get rid of more containers because sometimes it's hard to close the door!

    The store gave you a lot of points for bringing your own bags for a very small shopping trip! I always insist that the Target cashier use separate bags so I can get more than one 5 cent discount, lol. I've stopped bringing the larger bags when I go to Target for that reason :)

    I hope your gardener is able to put your AC unit in today so you can be cooler this weekend :)

    1. Food containers are a hard item to get rid of for me, too! But I have too many of them. I, too, bought the glass storage containers, but their plastic lids have started to crack.

      I don't know why the store gave me all those points! I usually take 3 bags in with me and they usually give me points for 3 bags, whether I use all or some. This is about the first time I got so many points - I think the cashier made a mistake. Doesn't really matter, though, because I never use the points! I buy my gas at a non-participating station, so the points are wasted on me.
