LOL! I really am making them have Chocolate milk with dinner. Why? Because I do not want to waste the 1/2 gallon of milk left in my fridge. π
Day 1: Surprisingly good.
My grocery list was very minimal this week. All I needed was:
Aisle 1
Pickles Grocery Straws |
Produce
Watermelon (DD school function) Frozen Garlic Cheese Bread Still to Buy Fish Food ($20) |
We only spent $37.73 on groceries (+20 for DH wallet and +5 for son’s lunch for the week)! Grocery Allotment Total so far: $62.73. With the remaining two expenditures, that will put us at a potential week (grocery allotment) expenditure $102.73 by the week’s end.
Well… stay tuned. I will be posting my Week’s Menu on Sunday.
Happy Saturday, y’all.
you are doing great with the spending!
i wish chocolate milk lasted long enough in our house to even think about going bad. husband and kidlet drink it down the minute it gets in the house. π
Good for you!!! I just blogged about my grocery shopping bill. I was on empty…which shows in my bill…
You are doing awesome! Can’t wait to see your menu…
@ dinah: well, the kids had me buy a gallon of milk for their chocolate milk … but it hasn’t disappeared. I ended up throwing out a 1/2 gallon of milk because of it! So, this time I bought my usual 1/2 gallon for the cereal cause. π
@ Sharon: ya, for some reason we were stocked. it was weird cuz normally I spend at least $80. I don’t know what was different. Maybe I decided we were going to empty the pantry for this project.
I think a no spend month will take some getting used to. Like when we first budgeted. It took our family about 3 months to get the hang of staying w/in our budget. Perhaps this is the same.
