Can't believe I almost forgot this!
This Week's Spending: $93.32. Total Expenditures: $162.12.
Fareway had an excellent sale on ground beef ($1.99/lb); however, the package came in ten-pound logs. So, I bought two. I figured with warm weather around the way, we'd be grilling a lot more. Hence, burgers. Twenty pounds of hamburger ran me at about $40...nearly half of my week's expenditures.
Everything else is evenly distributed. Aberrations include: Propel 6-packs and Little Debbie Chocolate Chip Cakes (both on sale for 2/$5). Turns out we were in charge of snacks for my son's soccer team this week - so, we went cheap and nutritious (one of those anyway).
Shockers (but not really) include: a bottle of A1 steak sauce (medium size) at $2.49...and that was with a $1 off coupon! Also, Kraft grated Parmesan cheese - $3.19! Egad! I must find alternatives. I suspect I could probably make my own steak sauce...the cheese may require more thought.
We leave for a ten-day jaunt to Alaska in about three weeks, and so I have been informed by my husband that he would like to clean out as much of the freezer and pantry as possible in the twenty-one days to come. I welcome this creative culinary challenge!
Note: I will edit this blog later with total and number amounts and other insights - I am currently without my receipts.
