Grocery Shop June 7, 2014
Continuing with this weeks groceries here is what I purchased today:
Kroger:
1 pkg chicken thighs (I divided it up into 3 meals)
1 bunch celery
nectarines
mushrooms
1 bag frozen mixed veggies
1 block of colby cheese
1 frozen pizza (I only close 1 night next week)
2 bottles of diet soda
Total: $23.68
Grand total for week: $29.31
left for week: $10.69
The chicken thighs will not be used on this week's menu but it was a great price. Dh asked for soda so I purchased bottles instead of cans. The cans were very expensive even on sale.

Grocery Shop June 6, 2014
This is my first shop since going back to the $40 a week format. I have not completed my shopping by any stretch of the imagination but I have started so I thought I would post so I didn't forget.
Farmer's Market:
1 bag lettuce
3 small cucumbers
$3.00
Wal-Mart:
mustard
ranch dressing
$2.63
Spent so far: $5.63
Left: $34.37
Dh and I talked and we liked the lettuce so much more from the farmer's market. We have a market Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. It costs more than the grocery store but it tastes so much better. My cucumbers are not in yet so I bought a couple for the salad.
Wal-Mart is somewhere that I rarely, if ever, go but I had purchased some work shirts that did not fit right when I got home. Back they went and while I was there picked up the two items I knew I needed right now. Dd was complaining that I didn't have any ranch. I thought I did but it turned out to be caesar dressing.
I will post next week's menus when I get them finished.
