Happy Monday!
So I did a great job of shopping from the pantry, garden and freezer for this week which resulted in very few dollars being spent on groceries. We also didn't stock up on anything this week because those items that were on sale we still have plenty of.
Here's what we spent:
Commissary: $14.82
- Pepperoni, Onions, Juice, Rolls, and Rolled Oats.
Farmer's Market: $18.50
- Milk & Cream - $11.50
- Apple Cider & Apples - $7.00
Hannaford: $4.50
- Soda
We did order out Saturday night because we were busy making products, so last week's total goes from $54.47 to $78.73.
About this week's menu:
I was able to plan this week's menu around what we currently have in our home. However, I thought it would be interesting to itemize everything out just to see what it would cost if I had to buy everything. With this week's sale prices and regular prices factored in, the total for the week in our area would have been: $78.39
This total assumes I have eggs, rice, flour, peanut butter, beans, tomato paste, diced tomatoes, Worcestershire, and sage on hand, which I usually do.
I would have had to buy:
- tortilla shells - $1.50
- milk - $3.49/gallon
- whole chicken - $1.29/lb
- apple cider - $2.99
- potatoes - $4.20
- apples - $4.00
- carrots - .99cents
- celery - $1.19
- pork chops - $2.99/lb
- butternut squash - .99cents/lb
- ground beef - $2.99/lb
- beef stock - $1.50/each
- corn {frozen} - .99cents
- chicken stock - $1.50/each
- pepperoni - $1.59
- chicken wings - $6.83
- wing sauce - $2.62
- spinach - $2.49
- country-style pork ribs - $1.79/lb
- kielbasa - $3.49
- onions - .88cents/lb
- cheese - $2.49
- salsa - $1.89
- frozen fruit - $2.49

Awesome job planning! I'm just trying to imagine what it would be like to walk away from the Farmer's Market having spent less than $40 for the week.
