I did a little grocery shopping this week, including checking out my new local Wegmans! I also took advantage of this fabulous Giant deal on Cheerios and got for boxes for $1.00 + tax. The young cashier was so impressed; he said it was the best deal he had ever seen!
On Tuesday, I sent Michael to Harris Teeter after work to pick up some of the fabulously priced $1.47/lb. ground beef. However, I told him to get five packages, and it turned out that the limit was four! So the fifth package rang up regular price - ouch! If it were a less expensive item, I would have let the mistake go, but with meat I just couldn't bring myself to do that. So I went back after dinner, explained what happened, and returned one package. The store took it back no problem. Lesson learned: always check the limit on hot sale items!
Here are my current grocery budget totals:
This week's shopping:
Harris Teeter - $10.32
CVS - $2.05
Giant - $1.11
Wegmans - $32.02
Total this month: $194.65
Left to spend: $155.35 (goal: $105.35)
In October, my grocery total turned out to be $300.20, right at my goal! I was very excited! In the new year, I'm thinking that I'll "officially" lower it, at least to $340 or $330. But for November and December I'm still giving myself the option of spending $350, with the holidays coming up!
