October Grocery Shopping - Week 3

On Thursday, I went grocery shopping at the Armenian grocery store.

I bought some bread rolls ($4.29), a 5 lb. bag of russet potatoes ($1.49), yams ($0.69/lb), and a package of frozen parathas (a type of flat bread; 30 for $10.99):

Bartlett Pears ($0.69/lb.), Honey Crisp Apples $0.69/lb.)
Pomegranates ($0.99/lb.), Fuyu Persimmons ($1.99/lb.),
Hachiya Persimmons ($1.99/lb.), Satsuma Tangerines ($0.99/lb.)

And, finally, I bought some beef; three pieces of chuck steak at $5.99/lb:

My total came to $43.27:

My October grocery budget (for food only) = $250

Spent to date = $121.77 + $43.27 = $165.04

Balance left = $84.96

I am still planning to order and pick up some groceries from the supermarket this weekend to take advantage of their weekend only specials.

As always, I am grateful for the availability of a variety of food, for weekly specials, and being able to purchase the groceries I want.

How are you coming along with your grocery shopping and budget so far in October?
