October Groceries - Part 5

October 23 Groceries

I put in an order for groceries on Thursday night and the items were delivered on Friday morning, about half an hour after the delivery window, but, that's okay; the shopper might have had multiple deliveries.  This grocery order was mostly to take advantage of a few sales on some favorite drinks, convenience foods, and treats.  The only items I bought that were regular priced were the cookies.

There was a bit of a mix-up with the strawberries.  The strawberries I ordered were priced at $2.49 (with a digital coupon) for a 1 lb. container and I specified "no substitutions".  However, the shopper substituted a container of organic strawberries for $6.99!  When I contacted the store, they refunded the money and told me to keep the strawberries.  I do appreciate their generous refund policy!  

Here's the receipt (which includes the strawberries):

My total came to:  $49.88 - $6.99 for the strawberries = $42.89

My October grocery budget = $250.

Spent to date:  $43.94 + $68.71+ $19.31 + $29.78 + $42.89 = $204.63

Balance left: $45.37

I am pleased with this week's grocery shopping, the amount I spent, and the amount left over for next week's groceries.  

As always, I am grateful for:

- Being able to order the groceries online
- Being able to have them delivered
- The availability of groceries
- Coupons and sales
- The store's generous refund policies   

Daughter and I had two of the hot pockets for our brunch, today.  Baked in the air fryer, they were quite tasty and we enjoyed them.
