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):

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?
My food budget is all over the place, but now the kitchen is ready to use (just a few bits to finish off once the new flooring is sorted out), I will be able to get back on track. You've done well with your budget this month. xx
ReplyDeleteThank you, Eileen.
DeleteI'm sure you'll get your food budget in order once your kitchen is finished and you can start preparing your meals again. :)
You got some good prices on your produce, at least compared to what I have been seeing.
ReplyDeleteThank you, June. This particular store has good prices on their produce, but, I'm noticing that even their prices are increasing. But, I buy only what is on sale that week, and that helps me to stick to my budget.
