I made up for all the Pantry Challenges I did the last two weeks! This week was not as planned as I hoped it would be, it included MULTIPLE trips to the grocery store. And many of these were last minute expensive purchases. Oh well, you can’t win them all!
I did my Freezer Cooking Day – Christmas Style this week which is why I had so many last minute purchases. See all the fruits of my labor over here. Believe it or not I ran out of pecans, eggs, vanilla, flour and brown sugar! I was a poor planner, but at least it got done. I had wiggle room in my budget to get it in!
I have no pictures to show you from my grocery trips, but I’ll give you a glimpse of my two cheese balls! The whole time I was trying to photograph my food, they kept going “Mommy, take a picture of me!” Garrett just kept giving me this precious little cheesy smile!
What is Weekly Wrap-Up?
Weekly Wrap-Up is a post I do every Saturday to show you what I got this week for $40 for my family of four. My $40 a week budget includes all food, toiletries and cleaning supplies, it does not include eating out. (I do not include diapers and coffee in this budget, it is separate!)
Total Groceries OOP: $67.69
What great deals did you find this week? Be sure to post your trips and include links to your blog if you took an inventory or pictures.
I saved 85% at Publix and got 6 lbs of chicken! It was one of my best trips in a while!! Pictures here: http://missq.wordpress.com/2009/12/04/shopping-summary-1129-–-126/
