On Sunday, I ordered groceries and picked up the items in the late afternoon. I didn't need a lot of groceries, this time, other than sandwich bread, milk, half and half for my daughter's coffee, some produce, and a couple of items that were suitable for my new reduced salt diet and which were on sale.
I also bought a box of fabric softener/dryer sheets since I was coming to the end of my current box and there was a digital coupon for them; that's not a part of my grocery budget, so, will be deducted from my total.
I had ordered a jar of yeast, but, the store apparently didn't have any. I had qualified for free pick up with the jar of yeast; without the yeast, my total came below the free pick up minimum, but, I was not charged a pick up fee.
Daughter put away the groceries for me, so I don't have a picture, but, here is the receipt:
Order Summary
Item Details
12 Items
Total spent = $34.38
Amount spent on non-grocery item (dryer sheets) and sales tax on them = $4.99 + $.49 = $ 5.48
Adjusted Total Spent = $34.38 - $5.48 = $28.90
Here are the links for the previous January grocery shopping, if anyone is interested:

January Grocery Shopping Part 2
My January grocery budget (for food items only for two people) = $250
Spent to date = $65.05 + $98.63 + $28.90 = 192.58
Balance left in the budget = $250 - $192.58 = $57.42
I am pleased with my spending on groceries so far this month.
I am not going to do a meal plan this week as we will probably eat from what's already prepared and kept in the fridge.
How is your January grocery shopping coming along? Are you finding good deals at your grocery stores?
