I ordered and picked up groceries on Friday. Since my daughter put the groceries away for me right away, I couldn't take a picture of them, but, here's a copy of the receipt:
Order Summary
Item Details
54 Items
Other Fees
$0.60
I spent a lot on groceries this time.
But, the majority of the chicken is for a chicken curry I am making to take to my cousin who had shoulder surgery earlier this week and I thought that the boneless, skinless chicken will be easier for her to manage with her non-dominant hand. The package held 5 chicken breast halves and I cut up and curried four of them to take to my cousin's tomorrow; the other one was sliced and sauteed with onions, lemon juice, pepper, garlic powder, etc., to be added to salads or made into sandwiches for my daughter and me for our brunches, etc.
I forgot to specify a small pork roast when I ordered the groceries and the person picking out my groceries picked a huge pork roast! However, it will provide us with many meals as I plan to cook and freeze some of it.
The shrimp was a treat and a bit of a splurge, even on sale. It's been a while since I last bought it because I didn't want to pay the higher sale price, but, it'll be a nice treat to look forward to.
January grocery shopping part 1 is here.
January grocery budget = $250
Spent to date = $65.05 + $98.63 = $163.68
Balance left in the budget = $250 - $163.68 = $86.32
Meal Plan Options:
We are not really following a meal plan at this time. Sometimes, daughter and I eat the same things (we both had tuna salad sandwiches, on Friday, after I bought the lower sodium canned tuna and we both had rice and curries today when daughter cooked dhal and kale mallung) but, often, we eat different things and at different times, especially when she's working.
However, I like to write down meal plan options and these are the options for next week:
Brunches: Scrambled eggs with toast (and sausages for daughter); omelet with salad or sauteed greens; salad with chicken; chicken sandwiches; tuna or egg salad sandwiches; French toast; blueberry muffins; fried rice
Dinners: Rice, chicken curry, dhal, kale mallung, and tomato chutney; rice with leftover salmon, broccoli, and chutney; pasta with chicken and spaghetti sauce; chicken and vegetable soup; roast pork with potatoes, green beans, and carrots and/or pork curry with rice, cucumber salad, sauteed cabbage; leftovers/planned overs or something else not on the plan!
How are you coming along with your grocery shopping and grocery spending so far in January?
