First off, the grocery spending. My goal is to spend no more than $80-$100 each week, with my ultimate goal being to keep it as close to $80 as possible. This week, I spent:
$8 on milk from the farm
$7 at the local farmer’s market
$69 at Weis
$15.22 at Giant(I stocked up on boneless skinless chicken breasts there, and also $.99/pound grapes)
for a total of $99.22.
That’s on the higher end of my budget, but that’s mostly due to me stocking up on chicken breasts(I’d have been at $84 otherwise). And since I now have a bunch of chicken in my freezer, I should be able to spend a bit less on groceries this week.
On to the menu…
