Cutting the grocery budget - May Edition
Friday, May 8, 2009
I mentioned in last months final grocery budget post that I would be doing things differently for May and here is a recap.The daily budget from the USDA figures is: $11.98 x 31 days = $371.55 monthly budget for May. So ALL grocery shopping for May has to come from that budget. Obviously we're still not working on a correct pattern as Bob is still working late and eating meals at work so it's all still a little sketchy as to how accurate things are, but we're trying.
- Trader Joes = $73.51
- Total = $73.51
- CR = $298.04
I was actually quite surprised at how expensive this weeks grocery bill was but then I bought some prepackaged products and toiletry supplies so I guess they all add up! Definitely still using stuff we have in the house too though! Shouldn't beat myself up too much we are still under budget for the week :)
