My Weekly Grocery Shopping Trips 1/1-1/14

I plan to document as much as I can my grocery shopping trips on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. I do the bulk of my shopping on a bi-weekly basis, but usually shop every week for the necessities– milk, produce, etc.

My weekly grocery budget is set for $75 bucks each week.

Total spent on both trips: $45.62

Total spent on all shopping trips – $111.62 from the 1/1- 1/14. I don’t have any other shopping to do this week (besides stopping by Horrock’s  or Aldis to get fresh produce and 2 Frozen Pizzas). So far my grocery budget for this amount would have been $150 ( $75 per week). So I have saved $38.38 from that bi-weekly amount.

So I have a total of $183.38 to spend for the rest of the month on my grocery budget. I do also try to save a little bit leftover each week for our eating out/Pizza Runs, etc. You can view my Menu Planning Monday list of what we’re making this week and how much I spent on those meals.
