Hello my friends. It’s a brand new week! I didn’t post anything last week about groceries, because we were at the beach ~ the glorious, heavenly beach, and I didn’t buy ANY food for my house. Don’t you love getting away? It’s always lovely to come home, but I love being away too.
We haven’t ventured beyond our tiny town since we got home. Denton is having very debilitating pain with his back and the nerves running down his leg. Say a little prayer for him. We go to have an MRI done tomorrow. So traveling for groceries is not on my priority list at the moment.
Walmart and Food Lion it is! Liv and I did find a Great Value substitute for our beloved Boom Chicka Pop. I LOVED it. Liva was more – mehh. But when I can’t run into a Sharp Shopper and buy Boom Chicka Pop for $0.79, this is a great alternative. It was $1.98 I believe and it’s slightly more salty, so YUM.
Still loving the dill pickle chips from Food Lion.
These were a total fail. We ended up opening two canisters of these knock off Pringles. They were both really, really gross. They have a terrible aftertaste. Hayden said it tasted like they had sat and absorbed the flavor of the can and the plastic lid. Gross.
This is Denton’s absolute favorite coffee at the moment. It’s all we buy and he is a major coffee snob. I can take it or leave it, pretty much from any coffee brand. I’m not a big coffee drinker; as we all know, Coca~Cola is my caffeine drug of choice. But this is good. Especially when you have a piece of chocolate cake to go with it, which is what usually motivates me to drink a cup of coffee. Black of course. The cake will provide all the sugar I need.
Okay, I promise that I did buy things other than potato chips, junk food and coffee at the store this past week. So let’s see what the damage was:
Food Lion $74.88 on 06.25.19 | Food Lion $51.01 on 06.29.19 | Walmart $77.99 on 06.29.19
Total spent for the last week: $203.88
January $740.71
February $631.00
March $689.00
April $405.44
May $1,047.02 Yikes
June $361.33
This month ended better than last month, but that’s because we were away on vacation. We’ll see what happens July! How did your grocery budget do in June?
Here are some ways I recoup part of my grocery budget each week:
ibotta | Checkout 51 | Receipt Hog | Walmart Savings Catcher
| Fetch (referral code – QF4TJ)
