I put in another order of groceries, today, and picked up the items in the afternoon.
I needed (as in we are all out of it or coming to the very end of what I had bought previously): bread, bananas, some other fruit for variety, cucumber, lettuce, more half & half, and bagels (for easy breakfasts), and a couple of stock up items which included rice (just finished a 10lb. bag and will be opening another 10lb. bag this week and I like to have 20 lb. rice on hand at all times) and a new bottle of oil as I am half way through the last bottle of oil. The rice (white, long grain, store brand) wasn't on any special sale; it rarely goes on sale and it is one of the items I will buy at full price; the store brand vegetable oil was on sale, although not by a lot.
In addition, I bought some wants which were on sale. The store has started having weekend specials with prices valid only on Saturdays and Sundays. This weekend they had frozen shrimp, raw or cooked, 12 oz. for $5.00, and I thought it was a good deal. I also took advantage of a sale and bought four packages of hot Cheetos (you had to buy 4 to get the sale price) as daughter had just finished the last bag of hot Cheetos I had bought, earlier, in June. Plus a container of ice cream. These items are definitely wants and treats! But, at least, I didn't pay full price for them.
I bought:

My total came to: $44.18, of which $12.49 was on snacks and ice cream.
August grocery budget = $250
Spent to date = $38.17 + $15.24 + $44.18 = $97.59
As always, I am grateful that there are groceries available and I am able to indulge in a few treats when they are on sale.
How is your August grocery shopping coming along?
