Grocery Shopping, Part Deux

I ran short on a couple of items and had to do a quick stop this morning. The asparagus was so good that my husband polished it off. I had to buy another bunch for an upcoming meal. I also needed to get ground beef. I had ground turkey, but it just seemed silly to use it for the Burgandy Beef Patties. I also underbought on the potatoes, green beans and lettuce last week!

Today I bought:

• Ground beef
• Asparagus
• Milk
• Bananas
• Potatoes
• Lettuce
• Green beans

Today's total came to $23. That added to the $90 from last week totaled $113. A few of the things will be used beyond this week (eg the burgandy).

Grocery shopping

I made my shopping list and went to the store. I spent MORE than I have spent in months: $90.23. The majority of the food is fresh produce.

For the menus listed, here was my grocery list:

• cottage cheese
• green beans
• Brussels sprouts
• chopped spinach
• salmon fillet
• milk
• orange juice
• Swiss cheese
• butter
• chicken franks
• angel food cake
• pudding mix
• orange jello mix
• Kellogg's bran/wheat flakes
• burgundy wine
• pumpernickel bread
• wheat bread
• grapefruit
• asparagus
• English muffins
• Parmesan cheese
• celery
• cantaloupe
• mushrooms
• cabbage
• canned apricot
• oranges
• grapes
• onions
• tomatoes
• strawberries
• bananas
• cucumbers
• lemons
• lettuce
• garlic
• tomato juice
• orange juice

Several of the things will be used for more than one week. We normally spend between $15 and $40 eating out after church on Sunday, so we will be avoiding that cost.

I also already had a few things like corn, roast beef, chicken, ground turkey (instead of beef), and eggs.
