More Groceries

I ordered and picked up more groceries today. from the supermarket.  They had some good deals this week, including chicken for $0.99/lb. and a dozen eggs for $1.99 on Saturday and Sunday only.  I waited until Saturday to order the groceries, in order to get the eggs at that price.  Unfortunately, the eggs were not available when I ordered the groceries!  By the time I was getting ready to pick up the groceries, the store texted me that the tray of chicken thighs I had ordered wasn't available, either.  They offered to substitute a more expensive variety of chicken, at a higher price, but, I declined.  

No pictures today, because daughter started to put away the groceries almost as soon as she had helped me to bring them in.  But, here is the receipt:

I paid a total of $73.87.  

Of which, $4 was for Dancer's cat food, which is not included in my grocery budget.

My groceries, CA redemption value (bottle deposits), and sales tax came to $69.87

My October Budget = $250

Spent to date = $165.04 + $69.87 = $234.91

Balance left = $15.09

I honestly don't think I'll need to buy any more groceries during the rest of this month, but, I'm glad to have $15 left in the budget, just in case I do want to pick something up, next week!  If not, that $15 will be added to November's budget.  I'm sure it will come in handy when shopping for Thanksgiving dinner.

How are you coming along with your grocery shopping and budget?  Are you finding that the advertised specials seem to run out before you can get to the store?
