| May 23 Groceries |
I received my grocery order on Saturday afternoon. The store was apparently out of a few things I had ordered (salmon on sale and bottled water on sale) and I had specified no substitutions. But, I received most of the items I wanted, including the basics and some extras, so it worked out well enough.
I bought bread, hamburger buns, milk, half & half, chicken, frozen burger patties, a bottle of salad dressing, a seedless watermelon, strawberries, and, not shown in the picture above, bottles of sparkling water. I shopped the week's specials and used coupons to the extent possible. The strawberries, for example, were on sale for $3.99 for a 2-lb. container. In addition, I had a coupon for $0.80 off on the purchase of two 2-lb. containers, which brought the price per container down to $3.59. As a result, I was able to buy two containers of strawberries for under what one container would have cost if I had paid full price (which was $7.99/2 lb. container).
Here's the receipt:
Item Details
43 Items
Other Fees
$0.40
My total came to $65.03
I had $81.72 left in my May grocery budget after my previous grocery purchases on May 18
Balance left in the May grocery budget = $81.72 - $65.03 = $16.69
There is another week left in the month, but, I don't anticipate ordering more groceries next week. So, the $16.69 will be carried forward to June.
As always, I am grateful for:
- The availability of groceries
- Being able to order groceries on-line and have them delivered
- The occasional deals to offset the increasingly higher prices
- Being able to stock up on a couple of items
- The occasional splurges
How are you coming along with your grocery shopping this month? Are you finding some good deals?
