July Grocery Shopping Part 5

I ordered more groceries on Monday and they were delivered on Tuesday morning.   I had a $2 off digital coupon on the hamburger patties which made them a little more reasonable and I splurged on brand name hamburger buns that we had tried on a previous sale and liked, even though they were $1 more than the store brand hamburger buns.  I stocked up on other "non-essential" items, too, before my digital coupons for them expired.

I didn't take a picture of the groceries, however, but, here's the receipt:

The French Onion Sour Cream Dip was not something I ordered and it wasn't included in the groceries I received.  I don't know why I was charged for it. I was able to request a refund through the store's website and I received an email that the refund went through and the $2.29 will be credited within five days (and it was).

So, my total spent on this order should be $38. 63

My July Grocery Budget (for food items only) = $250 + $11.51 carried over from June = $261.51

Spent to Date = $78.71 + $33.99 + $47.26 + $7.50 + $46.47 + $38.64= $252.56

Balance left in July Grocery Budget = $261.51 - $252.56= $8.95

I will be carrying that balance over to August, most probably. 

I am pleased that I came under this month's grocery budget.  

I am grateful for:

- The store's refund policy
- Being able to order groceries online
- Being able to have the groceries delivered
- No delivery fees provided I order more than $35 worth of items and select next day delivery
- Coming under budget
