$50 Per Week Grocery Challenge: Week #38, #39 & #40

How Much Did I Spend For Weeks #38, #39 and #40?

Wow, what a busy December.  I haven't posted any of my grocery shopping for the last 3 weeks and I apologize.  I want to finish this year and see if I can keep my average spending around $50 per week.  And part of keeping myself on track is to be honest and post everything I spend on my blog.

So, for this post I will just list all of my grocery purchases, but not break the items down.  It would take forever.  Also, I will not add my meals or desserts as I have no clue what we ate 3 weeks ago.

11/20/13 Fleet Farm:  I made this purchase on Black Friday and forgot to add it to my grocery amount.  I purchased all the nuts I needed to make my 12 Sweets of Christmas:  $16.18

12/09/13 Cash Wise Foods - $42.02

12/11/13 Hornbachers - $13.28

12/17/13 Hornbachers - $7.84

12/16/13 Cash Wise Foods - $61.46

12/23/13 Cash Wise Foods - $21.55

12/26/13 Sams Club - $41.89

My total is:  $204.22

I spent $54.22 more than I would have liked, but I had over $200 left in reserve, so it isn't the end of the world.

For the past 40 weeks I have spent $1857.43 and I still have $142.57 in reserve.  I think this is pretty good for a family of 5.  I can't wait to see if I can keep this up for a whole year.

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year.
