Grocery spending and menu

If you remember, last week I spent a bunch of money at Costco, and so I was trying to do a bare bones-ish week of grocery shopping. I wasn’t as successful as I’d hoped, so I gave it another shot this week. I spent:

$7.38 on milk at the local grocery store
$46.91 at Weis
for a total of
$54.29.

I budget $100 a week(although I always try to get it closer to $80). I was trying to make up for being $100 over budget, and last week I spent $47.65(a little over $50 under budget) and this week I spent $54.29, which is almost $50 under budget.

So, this is good! I’m pretty much entirely back on track now. I think from now on when I manage to spend less than $100 on groceries, I’ll put the extra money into an ING account, and then it’ll be happily sitting there when I need to make a Costco trip.

Ok! Now for the menu:

• grapes

Sunday

• We’re having a misc. use-up-stuff-in-the-pantry night
• and we’re having carrot sticks and apple slices with that

Thursday

• Chicken Fajitas
• fruit salad

Friday

• Deep Dish Pizza
