Menu Monday #10
Sorry this post is a bit late, I always try to share my weekly shopping trip and grocery expenses and I did not make that trip until today (Tuesday) when we returned from our holiday with family.
Menu Monday #10
Menu Monday #9 (& Weekly Shopping Trip)
Menu Monday #9
This week’s menu and shopping were easy since we moved most of last week’s meals back a few days due to hospital/doctor visits. As you can see the homemade chicken soup was added to this week’s list. That would be because I had thawed my “soup bucket” and needed to consume it soon.
As a matter of fact it is in the crock pot as I type this.
Below you will find our planned menu as well as our main shopping trips.
This Week’s Grocery Trip (June 2016)
This Week’s Grocery Trip (June 2016)
After a review of last month’s budget and the addition of our babysitting job I decided to upgrade the monthly grocery budget to $125/week. That is for four and a half people with varying food intolerances and limited diets. (I say half because our guest is only here 3 days a week.)
This week we spent $167+ but many of the items will be consumed over the next few weeks and our supplies (detergent, deodorant, etc… are included in a separate budget category.)
