Today is payday and so my next month's grocery budget starts today. My goal is to spend $200 for the month. This includes toiletries and pet food also.
This morning I went to JR's which is a little mom and pop grocery store in town that has the best meat in town. They run weekly meat specials and I go when I see a really good one. Today they had boston pork butt roasts for 98 cents a pound. We love pulled pork so I went to see what they had.
So this morning I spent:
3 dozen large eggs - $3
cabbage - 73 cents
pork chops - $4.62
boston butt - $18.60
candy bar - 88 cents
Total: $30.01
The eggs where an unadvertised special and I grabbed what they had on the shelf. The pork chops were marked down and I was able to divide it into three meals. The candy bar was a treat as this is the only store in town that carries O Henry bars and I loved these as a kid. The boston butt was over 18 pounds and I had them divide it into four smaller roasts. Enough for February and March. Maybe even into April. ~smile~ So really $9 of this is for March's food budget.
When I remove the amount for next months budget I spent $21 therefore I have $179 left for the month.
I will be going to complete my shopping this afternoon.
