February Grocery Shopping - Part 1

I ordered and picked up some groceries on Saturday, February 1. The price of eggs have come down by $1.00 and I knew I had to get another dozen before the price went back up, again.

1 x $0.10 each

The bill came to a total of $65.63.  

Of which, $5,42 is for the tooth paste (5 x $0.99 = $4.95 + $0.47 tax = $5.42) and is not part of the grocery budget.  

I will keep the cans of tuna as groceries, this time around.

So, total paid for groceries including snacks = $60.21

My February grocery budget is $200.  Of which I had already spent $15.45 in January, leaving me with $184.55 available to spend in February.

Balance left in the February budget = $184.55 - $60.21 = $124.34

All I can say is, it's a good thing that February is a shorter month!
