| Curly Kale Growing in the Garden |
I ordered groceries on Friday evening and they were delivered on Saturday. I was very careful to specify if I wanted any substitutions and if so, which substitutions I wanted. This time, I received everything I ordered without needing to have anything substituted.
I bought a cucumber, some fruit, some convenience items, treats (ice cream bars), and some pantry items. The majority of the items I purchased were on sale with store discounts, digital coupons, etc. I paid regular price for other items, such as the canned mackerel.
I was all out of canned mackerel (used the last can I had in the pantry, back in early December to make fish cutlets). I had been waiting for a sale on canned mackerel to stock up, but, they haven't gone on sale and with the way things are right now, I very much doubt if they will go on sale any time soon! So, I decided to buy two cans to have on hand. In addition to fish cutlets, I like to make a curry with canned mackerel and we haven't had that in a while, either.
I didn't need to buy a lot of vegetables this time because, earlier in the week, I picked a bunch of curly kale from my garden:

Here's the grocery receipt:
Order Summary
Item Details
25 Items
Other Fees
$0.60
My total came to $57.18
My April grocery budget is $250 - $3.70 March overspend = $246.30
Total spent to date = $59.53+ $57.18 = $116.71
Balance remaining = $246.30 - $116.71 = $129.59
I am assuming that I will need to do three more grocery orders this month and as long as I keep each otder to an average of $43, I should come within budget this month.
I am grateful for:
- The availability of groceries
- Sales, coupons, and special offers
- Being able to order groceries online
- Being able to have the groceries delivered
- Homegrown produce
Have you gone grocery shopping this week? Are you finding good deals? What are some of the pantry staples you'll buy at regular price?
