We had another grocery shopping trip.
We actually didn’t go to any of our regular grocery stores.
We went to Target. My mom was here over the weekend and as a treat for No-Spend
September, she bought the kids a movie and we had an at-home movie night.
Since we went to Target to buy a movie, we just did our
grocery shopping for the week there.
We spent $22.27. We only needed hummus and hamburger buns
for our dinner menus, but we also bought some fruit, tortillas, and bagels to
round out the week.
We still had $311.97 of our food budget remaining. After
subtracting our total from Target, we have $289.70 to last us the rest of the
month. As we are nearly 2/3 through the month, I don’t see any reason why we
shouldn’t be able to do this.
October will be very expensive for groceries and not because
we did without for September, but because we try so hard to eat out of our
pantry and freezer for September. We will need to buy meat, lunch meat, milk
(always!), cheese, bread, and snacks. We should be able to stay in budget in
October; we just won’t have much money left over!
Oh well, one month at a time and I feel like September is
going pretty well!
