A new month, another shot at sticking with my grocery budget! After consulting with a like minded frugal friend of mine, she suggested that if I could afford it, to up my grocery budget to $60/week since that includes food for me and husby, food and litter for the babies, HBA and home care products. I decided that she was probably right so my grocery budget per month is now $240. So far this week i'm over for my budget. But I did get Friskees on a really good deal and should have enough for the babies for the entire month (1 can everyday). I also got a couple of cheap/free things to donate to the homeless shelter/food pantry. Here's what I bought this week:
Food Lion 6/1
30 cans Friskees cat food
Total - $6.65
Food Lion 6/4
