Thought I’d share my grocery’s for the week to help people, we are a family of 4 (2 toddlers) and we budget 1000 a month for groceries BUT we have the incentive to spend as little as we can because we give ourselves the remainder as date night money.
After removing trash bags, cash back and vitamins, the grocery bill this week came out to 132.82, which I am very proud of!
Not pictured that will be used this week (already had on hand)
-1lb pork shoulder
-1lb chicken thighs (boneless skinless)
-0.5lb bacon
-butternut squash
-white rice
-beans (pinto)
-egg (chickens!)
-English muffin
- oats (old fashioned)
-Maseca
-crushed tomatoes (canned)
-flour/sugar/spices
If you included these we would still be under 175, which I think is great in this economy but you let me know!
The
For meals this week we will be having
-pork sopas w/ fried plantains
Chicken tacos w/ Mexican slaw
braised beef w/ veggies
potato tacos
-pasta w/ red sauce
The other 2 nights will be leftovers/fend for yourself.
Kids eat breakfast/lunch/snack at school which saves us a decent amount of money.
The beef will also be used next week, it gets split in half.
It’s expensive out there but making meals at home makes it somewhat more affordable!
