Grocery Spending/Menu Plan | Last for June

When I took this picture, I thought it included all my groceries.

But then I realized that some things were missing, and sure enough, there was another bag in the car.

Good thing I noticed, because in the kind of temperatures we’ve been having lately, that food would have melted/spoiled really quickly!

In case you’re wondering, I bought the four containers of Edy’s ice cream because they were buy one, get one free, and there was a $4 back deal if you bought 4. So, we’re going to be unusually spoiled with ice cream for the next week or two.

This week I used some of my Weis coupons, and also a few from Coupons.com, which is my new source of coupons now that I don’t get a newspaper subscription anymore (I used a $1/1 Nexcare coupon, which made a box of waterproof bandages $.99, and I used some $1/2 cereal coupons). I also got a number of buy one, get one free deals at Weis (blueberries, grape tomatoes, and of course, the ice cream). Most of the time I buy my produce from Aldi, but the buy one, get one free sale made the blueberries and tomatoes cheaper at Weis.

I spent $104.93, which means that I’m ending June a little over budget (because of my wheat purchase, I was supposed to keep my spending around $82/week this month).

Fortunately, though, July is a new month, and I get to start over fresh with another $400.

For breakfast, we’ll be eating homemade granola, homemade yogurt, fruit, scrambled eggs (with no salmon, thankyouverymuch!), and cereal.

Lunches will be yogurt smoothies, fruit, nuts, sandwiches, and leftovers as necessary.
