In my last post I mentioned that I'm changing my original menu plan for the week to accommodate A) our busy schedule and B) our already well stocked freezer/fridge/pantry.
I also did one stop shopping at Trader Joe's which means I might not have gotten the best price for some things (I know the steak we bought at New Seasons last time was $1 less a pound so...) but it was what I needed after working almost 10 hours today.
Last week I had SOO many leftovers so I really scaled back this week. We've been eating smaller portions and feeling just as full so that means less groceries for this week!
Total Meat and Produce for the week: $49.55
With Pantry items: $66.00
SEE! This CAN be affordable!
Meat: $26.93 (Or if adding in ** section $37 ish Total at top includes this number.)
2 dozen eggs $3.49 (Costco)
Grassfed Angus Burgers $5.99 (TJ's)
Free Range Organic Chicken Drumsticks $5.91 (TJ's)
Top Sirloin $11.54 (TJ's)
**Tonight we used sliced beef for the fajitas from last week's budget and only used half. So if you're looking for a full week's amount, add $6.50 for that.
Tomorrow night will be leftover chicken breasts from last week's budget as well so add another few dollars... don't remember how I divided it last week but probably about $3.50 ish.
Produce: $12.55
Bananas $1.39 (Costco)
Artichokes $2.99 (TJ's)
Sweet Potatoes $3.99 (TJ's) Costco was OUT! So sad.
Mushrooms $1.69 (TJ's)
Strawberries $2.49 (TJ's)
** We still have a lot of produce left from last week. I froze raspberries and blueberries, and we still have lettuce, carrots, onions, and green beans.
Pantry Staples/Other Random finds: $16.45
Dried Babysweet Pineapple $3.69 (TJ's)
Coconut Milk $0.99 (TJ's)
Almond Butter $6.99 (TJ's)
Basil Plant $2.99 (TJ's)
