Grocery Flour Shopping and Menu Plan

Yeah…flour made up a great proportion of what I bought this week. The Frugal Girl Family does not live on flour alone, though, so I did buy a few other things. 😉

This cereal is from Shoppers…I hardly ever go there, but they had a rockin’ sale on Post cereal this week. Between a sale and some coupons, I got these six boxes of cereal for $6, and much to my surprise, at checkout I got a coupon for $5 off my next purchase(it was a Post promotion I didn’t know about). So in essence, I only paid $1 for all of that. That was totally worth the extra stop.

Then at Aldi, I spent $36.92(incidentally, I’m still sort of in shock at how much food you can buy at Aldi for so little money. I always expect my total to be more than it is).

My final stop was at Weis, where I bought a boatload of flour and a few other things. I spent $42.87 there.

Oh, and earlier in the week, I sent my husband to pick up 5 pounds of $.99/lb grapes at Safeway, so that adds another $5 to my total.

Soo, I’ve spent $85.79 this week. That’s over my $80 goal, but for the last two weeks, I’ve been at least $20 under, so I’m good. And I’m quite pleased that I bought 100 pounds of flour and still stayed so close to my budget.
