With last Friday being Halloween, we ended up starting our grocery trip on Sunday and Michael & I finished it on Monday. I came up with the meal plan on Sunday morning while Jon was working on his car. Here's the plan that I came up with:
- hot dogs (already had the hot dogs and buns)
- Spanish Rice (already had the hamburger)
- cheese steaks
- spaghetti (already had the sauce)
Our list for Walmart was still rather long. Here's what we had to buy:
Mickey shaped cheese- tomato sauce $0.50 x 2 = $1.00 $0.88
- rice $1.98
- hoagie buns $2.78
- garlic breadsticks $2.42
- Kool-Aid $0.20 x 8 = $1.60
- ice cream $3.98 $3.87
- loaf of bread $1.38
- cereal $3.98
We ended up not getting the Mickey shaped cheese because they were completely out. Michael was rather upset, he loves eating that for lunch. The total spent at Walmart was $24.46.
Because we went to Walmart rather late on Sunday and Michael hadn't taken a nap, we left the Wegmans shopping for the next morning. Here's the list Michael and I had to shop for:
- apple juice $5.49
- provolone cheese $3.76
- green pepper $0.65
- onion $1.18
- pop tarts $2.50 normally $2.89 on sale 2/$5
- Steak-umms $3.49
- spaghetti $0.99
- OJ $2.49
- gallon of milk $3.49
- potato chips $2.50
The total amount spent at Wegmans was $27.21. With the carry over of $11.56 from last week, the new weekly budget was $61.56. We ended up spend in total $51.67, making us under budget by $9.89. That's a whole month of staying under budget! Just wish we could say that we actually did a whole month of staying on our meal plan. I also earned $0.25 for the gallon of milk, $0.25 for the ice cream, $0.25 for the loaf of bread, $0.25 for the cereal all through Ibotta, and $1.10 back through the Savings Catcher with Walmart.
