Grocery Shopping Monday, 5/4/09 (Very Late Edition!!)

We have $280 budgeted for the month, and this week I spent $106.61. Yikes!! The good news is that we should be set for meat for the month. Here is what I bought:

Dominick's


4 Pepsi 2 Liters @ .99/ ea = 3.96
1 lb. bag split peas = .65
1 pkg. string cheese = 2.99
2 gallons milk @ 1.69/ea = 3.38
2 pkgs bacon B1G1 = 5.49
6.38 lbs pork tenderloin @ 1.99/lb = 12.70
2 pkgs imitation crabmeat B1G1 = 3.49
.58 lb. broccoli crowns @ 1.00/lb = .58
2.31 lbs. grapes @ .98/lb = 2.26

Tony's Finer Foods




7.96 lbs bananas @ .39/lb = 3.11
.74 lbs. green leaf lettuce @ 1.49/lb = 1.10
.43 lb green pepper @ .79/lb = .34
.36 lb. red pepper @ 1.99/lb = .72
.80 lb tomatoes @ .69/lb = .55
1.22 lbs. red potatoes @ .79/lb = .96
1 pineapple = 1.50
2 pkgs strawberries @ 1.50/ea = 3.00
2 mango @ .50/ea = 1.00
6 ct sub buns = 3.79
3 cannoli = 1.98
3 lb. package polish sausage = 3.99
1.5 lbs. deli ham = 4.62
.5 lb. mozzarella cheese = 1.95
.5 lb pastrami = 1.53
2 pkgs 8 ct. Scott toilet paper @ 4.99/ea = 9.98
1 pkg. dry milk = 8.99
1 can beef broth = 1.39
1 pkg. tortillas = 2.49
1 pkg chocolate chips = 2.99

We now have $173.39 left in the grocery fund for this month.

I had recipes planned out to correspond with all of this food, but frankly, since I have had such a crazy week, we haven't made any of the recipes. We have been living off easy to make meals such as BLTs and meals we had in the freezer. Next week, hopefully, we will be back to normal.
