| This Week's Grocery Pick Up (March 9, 2025) |
I have ordered and picked up groceries twice so far in March. The first time was on March 1 and the second time was on March 9.
I didn't take a picture of the March 1st grocery pick up, but, I bought milk, half & half, butter, bread, bagels, bananas, canned tuna, frozen dinners, and soda. Here's the receipt:
Order Summary
Item Details
26 Items
March 1 Grocery Total = $51.70
Today's groceries are pictured above and I bought milk, half & half, condensed milk, eggs ($9.99/doz.), fresh fruits, a cucumber, cold cuts, peppermint candy, and sugar.
Here's the receipt for the March 9 groceries:
Order Summary
Item Details
15 Items
Other Fees
$0.10
March 9 Grocery Total = $47.92
Eggs have gone up to almost $10/doz. I thought it was interesting, to say the least, that the dozen eggs amounted to 20% of my grocery bill, this week!
Last week's tuna and this week's sugar and condensed milk were stock up items, although, only the tuna was on sale. I use the condensed milk in my tea and a can lasts me about 10 to 14 days depending on whether I have two cups of tea a day or just one (daughter usually has a cup of coffee in the morning with half and half and a cup of tea with condensed milk in the evening). I had two cans left in the cupboard after I opened a new can last week and I wanted to have 4 to 6 cans on hand at all times, as part of my earthquake preparedness.
Speaking of earthquakes, we had a magnitude 4.1 earthquake on Sunday afternoon in one area of L.A. followed by three smaller earthquakes in Malibu a bit later.
As for the sugar, I recently opened a bag of sugar and there is another one in the cupboard. Which is plenty. But, I want to be ready for jam and chutney making season later this summer and I want to stock up on sugar before prices go up.
Since I used February's gas budget to pay off the amount I went over with my February grocery budget, I am starting March off with a $200 grocery budget.
March grocery budget = $200
Spent to date = $51.70 + $47.92 = $99.62
Sunday's brunch was a cold cuts sandwich. Dinner was leftovers - I had the leftover beef and vegetable soup with a slice of toast; daughter had leftover mac & cheese with the ground beef mixture. I will be making a meal plan for the week ahead; chicken curry has been requested.
How is your March grocery shopping coming along?
