On average we go through about $700-$800 a month on just food. That don't include household or pet. There has been times where I can spend about $500 with coupons, but today was not one of those days, I normally do groceries every 2 weeks, I use to do it weekly and monthly but I always seem to spend more. So doing it every two weeks works.
Today I had a doctors appointment on the other part of town so I went to trader joes I only go there when I'm in that area as it's an hour away. So at trader joes I ended up spending $107.29 which wasn't too bad, after that I went to target which was mostly home and personal supplies and spent $79.43. I did use cartwheel and a few coupons here. My next stop was Aldi and that came to $95.99 which is not bad for a filled cart. My last and final stop was Costco and there it came to $198.82. So my whole total for my two weeks came to $481.53, my next haul will be in two weeks, this time I stocked up on multiple snacks so I won't need that many next time. Included was pet food and some household so it wasn't really bad. I also included a frozen throw for Madison which was almost $14 and that was not in my budget, so in all I'm satisfied.
I have my meal plan made up for two weeks which includes breakfast,lunch and dinner. My kids snack on fruit or yogurt sometimes crackers or a sweet treat if I buy.
My husband also takes his lunch to work, so I include other things for him.
I also went and put 70% of the kids wish list on layaway at toys R us today, I'm very confident that they are gonna love there presents. I still have some other items that I could not find there to hunt down, I like to beat the crowd, I try to get all my gifts done by November that way I find mostly what I'm looking for, and to be honest I hate the rush, I don't like shopping when there's crowds,that's one big reaso I don't do Black Friday!
Well that's all guys, thank you for reading
God bless
