Frugal Grocery Shopping

Challenge time. 

We've had some unexpected medical expenses lately, so we have had to cut our weekly food budget in half for the next few weeks to make ends meet.

Challenge accepted. 

I am always a frugal shopper. I look through sales flyers, match up with coupons as much as possible, and try to only buy items when needed. 

So I knew cutting the budget would be difficult, but not impossible. 

This is everything I bought. 

I only used 3 coupons, 1 checkout 51 rebate, and 5 in store markdowns.

Breakdown;

Tostitos Chips

Fat Free Skim Milk

3lb Cooking Onions

Green Onions (1 bunch)

Raspberries (1 pint)

Bacon (2 packages)

250g of sliced ham deli meat 
6 Pack of Organic Kiwi 
6 Small Potatoes 

Sliced marble cheese

Bagels

Rye Bread

Lettuce

Red pepper 

3 Pears

3 Plums

3 apples

Strawberries 
Bananas

Cucumber

Green Grapes

Tomato

Hotdog Buns 

2 Packs of Grillems Sausage $5.94 (minus $2 in coupons) 

1 Box Glad Trash Bags $5.97 (minus $2 coupon and $3 checkout 51 rebate)

3 Packs of Ground Beef $6 (regular $5 each but had markdown stickers for $3 off each pack) 

2 Packs of pork Chops $4 (regular $5 each but each had markdown stickers for $3 off each pack)

Total Spent After Coupons, Markdowns, & Rebates 

 = $52.30 

Hello There

Welcome Summer 2013! 

There are so many things I want to accomplish this summer! 

One includes blogging more! 

I know I have been MIA lately, but J has spent the last 7 weeks in the hospital and it doesn't look like he will be getting out in the near future. 

So my days have been completely thrown off my regular schedule, and my meals are basically hospital cafeteria food, cereal or toast. Only good thing that comes out of the situation is the much less being spent on groceries when it is just me. 

 

I have a bunch of posts banked that I am waiting to share with you until I an fully commit my time and energy to the blog. I just wanted to pop on and say happy summer and let everyone know what is going on. 

 

 

What are your plans for this amazing summer 2013?

I always love to hear from all of you!
