Grocery Budget

Tomorrow is the start of a new month and I am going to do my best to keep my grocery budget in check.

I am budgeting 400.00 for the month, that includes everything and is for 4 of us.

We went shopping Sunday and spent 158.36

For 158.36 we got:

1 box of 12 frozen hamburger patties
24ct american cheese
1 pkg lunchmeat
2 lbs hotdogs
2 lbs butter
2 lbs bacon
4 lbs mozzarella cheese
1 bag frozen chicken tenders
1 bag salad mix
2 boxes spaghetti noodles
1 box microwave popcorn
2 jars horseradish
1 jar grated parmesan cheese
2 cans baked beans
1 bag tortilla chips
1 loaf of bread
4 pks of spaghetti seasoning
2 jars spaghetti sauce
6 cans green beans
1 lbs organic carrots
0.77lbs of cucumbers
3 bell peppers
1 jar nacho cheese sauce
3 pks Lipton Noodles and sauce
1 jar sesame oil
4 cans sliced mushrooms
1 gallon vinegar
2 gallons spring water
10 lbs potatoes
1 container grape tomatoes
1 pk pull ups
1 pk nighttime pull ups
3 air filters

Budget 400.00
Total Spent 158.36
Total left to spend 241.64

As for savings, I price matched the pullups they were like 9.50 or 10.50 but another store had them for 7.49 and then I used 1.50 off coupons for each pack!! In total I used 5.55 in coupons, not my best coupon day but every little bit helps!!

Out of the above listed groceries I was able to buy a few things that will not get used for this round of menus, hopefully I will be able to put those few things back and save them for stock up.
