February Grocery Shopping Part 1

On Monday, February 2, I ordered and picked up some groceries.  I needed a few items I was out of (milk, coconut milk, bananas, cucumber, carrots, onions) and wanted to stock up on a few things (rice, coconut milk, oil), and take advantage of sales and digital coupons before they expired. 

Here's my receipt showing what I bought:

My  February grocery budget is $250 plus $57.42 carried over from January to be used mostly for stocking up = $307.42

Total spent to date = $99.37

Balance left in the budget = $307.42 - $99.37 = $208.05

As always, I am grateful for:

- Being able to order groceries online and pick up the same day
- The availability of groceries
- Being able to have a choice
- A safe drive to the store and back
- A working fridge/freezer and electricity to run it

Have you grocery shopped yet in February?

  1. We haven't done any grocery shopping in February, but we did buy milk, yogurt, and cereal on the last day of January. :)

    1. The month has just begun, hasn't it? I was keen to take advantage of the sales and coupons before they expired, so decided to shop early. :)

  2. Good for you finding a deal on the ice cream bars. They are so expensive but not at the price you paid.

    1. Thank you, Bushlady. I was happy to find the ice cream bars on sale for that price. It comes to $1 per bar and that's an affordable treat. My daughter and I enjoy this particular brand of ice cream, but, not enough to pay full price! :D

  3. Io ho il supermercato proprio di fronte all' ufficio e prendo praticamente 2/3 cose tutti i giorni.
    Fortuna che abbiamo i buoni pasto e possiamo utilizzarli anche per fare spesa

    1. Stefania said (per Google translate): I have a supermarket right across from my office and I buy two or three things there almost every day.
      Luckily, we have meal vouchers and we can use them to do our grocery shopping.

      That's very convenient to have a supermarket so conveniently located near your office and even better to have meal vouchers which you can use to do grocery shopping! Lucky you! :)

  4. I have not yet shopped this month, and I refuse to count TheHub's current yogurt obsession!

    1. LOL. I suppose there are worse things to be obsessed by other than yogurt! I just tried a new type of yogurt, the other day, called skyr and I really liked it.
