$50 Per Week Grocery Challenge - Week #15

How Much Did I Spend For Week #15?

I had a bit of fun shopping this week.  Remember when I said I would never purchase a box of cereal again?  Well, never say never, because I did.  A local store had a buy 3 for $7.44, which in my opinion is not a good deal, but they also had receive a free gallon of milk with the 3 cereal purchase.  Well, I would purchase the milk anyway and if you subtracted the milk from the cereal ($7.44-$3.46) the cereal then came to $3.98.  Still a bit high for my tight budge.  I then went on line to Kellogg's website and printed out 3 $.50 coupons.  The store then doubled the coupons - $3.00 off - and now the 3 boxes of cereal cost me a total of $.98.  Not bad.

Our stockpile of meat is still quite large, but I am running low on chicken breasts and will purchase those if they come on sale.  I may take a look at Azure this month to see what's on sale.  I do need gluten in the next few months and sometime soon I will order from them.
