Grocery Shopping, 11/16/09

For the last 4 weeks, I challenged myself to only spend $40 a week. That was doable for a month, but not sustainable. I have upped my limit to $60 a week for the next 4 weeks to see if that could be a sustainable amount.

ALDI:

2 gallons milk = 3.58
1 loaf bread = 1.69
2 dozen eggs = 1.78
1 carton cottage cheese = 1.89
1 carton plain yogurt = 1.59

I will be honest, I made some stupid purchases here. I bought stuff we didn't need just because we had a coupon (and it's been so long since I have used coupons!) Silly. Silly.
