Well I blew my first week's budget! LOL
But, I bought a ton of produce, found a ham for soups and such. But if you look at what I bought, you would go. HUMMMMMMMMMMM since the items will not go bad in my pantry.
As you can see, no paper products, soda, drug, pet food, hygiene or cleaning supplies.
(6) Maxwell House 11 oz coffee regularly 3.19 on sale for 2.98 less store coupon or 1.48 ea = $8.88
(1) 6 lbs (4 meals minimum) Spiral Honey Cooked Ham $4.33 or $25.98 less store coupon = $15.98
(8 lbs) Fresh Turkey Necks on clearance $8.02 (4 meals) = $4.01
(10) Healthy Choice Frozen Meals sale (2.25 each) 3 for $5
normally these would have cost us $22.59 without the sale
with the sale, these came out to $1.67 each
or $16.70 less MQ 2 $5 off 5 or $6.70
or these work out to .67 cents per meal
NOT BAD, and nice break for hubby from sandwhichs during this cold snap.
Produce:
Lemons (3lbs), Limes (2 lbs), Carrots (1lb), Avacado, Oranges (8lbs), Kale, Tomatoes,
Cabbage (2.5 lbs), Garlic, Potato (5lbs), Onions (2lbs), Kale, Mushrooms,
Organic Spring Mix = $24.98
Milk, Soy Milk, yogurt and creamer $19.50 less store coupons = $15.60
Snack food:
chips (2--12 pk hubby lunch), 2 nutri grain, 2 Quaker Oats bars, 4 Kellog's bars,
$27.61 less store coupons = $14.60
(3) Progesso Lite Soup $4.50 less MQ = 3.40
Sliced Bread, Cheese & Deli Meat $7.39 less store & MQ = $4.99
Fajita seasoning $3.63
(6) oscar thick cut bacon $12 less MQ = $9
(we use the bacon grease in soups, rice dishes (think rice a roni), and other dishes)
(2) Capri Suns (have to have these for the park) 3.94
4 lb bag of sugar 2.46 (tea and koolaide)
Total OOP $116.65 with a coupon or store saving of $71.58 or 61%
I over shot my budget by $75 however,........................
I will not need items to fill my husband's lunch bag --- 14 hour days to my chagrin.
I will not need coffee for awhile so, in reality; I can make it all back in a few weeks.
BUDGET left: $4008.79
(expecting $65 in rebates, $50 for a snack survey, $30 from INBOX Dollars, Vindale Research $50, Panda Research $50, Mypoints is much slower but soon I will qualify for an $25 gift card.)
