Meals are starting to get interesting at my house now. Our upright freezer will most likely be completely emptied this weekend, so we can defrost it. The chest freezer is still over half full, though, so we are nowhere near done with our emptying them out challenge.
Last week we went to the commissary once and spent $10.99, and to Walmart and spent $14.84 on groceries. This included yogurt, milk, fresh produce, and peanut butter.
We spent $25.83 on groceries this week.
Our weekly budget is $100 per week for
our family of three adults, one child, two dogs, and a cat.
Our total spent on groceries for 2013 so far is $1899.90.
We are 24.5 weeks into the year, and our budget is $100 per week, so we are currently $550.10 under our budget for the year.

Weekly Grocery Spending May 31-June 6
We're trying to clear out our freezers right now, so we can defrost them. So we had another great week this week, as far as saving money. My husband went to the commissary twice this week. Both times it was mainly for produce, although he did end up picking up a few more things as well. The first time he spent $11.84 and the second time he spend $20.29.
Our weekly total this week was $32.13

Weekly Grocery Spending May 10-16
This week was a pretty expensive week for groceries at our house. My husband was with us this time, and it seems that we ALWAYS spend more when he is with us. Over the weekend we spent $238.96 at the commissary! Our cart was overflowing, though, and we had to pick up several more expensive items, including a bunch of meat, laundry detergent, and fabric softener.
In addition to that trip, my husband made two other trips to the commissary last Friday, and then yesterday. He just bought produce and tea the first time, so he spent $7.60. Then yesterday he bought produce, bread, and an ingredient that I forgot we needed for something on our menu plan, and spent $18.92.
Our weekly total this week was $265.48.

I don't anticipate doing all that much grocery shopping for the next 2-3 weeks. Our freezers are pretty full, so it will mainly be for dairy and produce for a while I think. But then again, Elliott gets out of school next week, so I guess it depends on how many extra kids we have around at snack and meal times! :)

Weekly Grocery Spending April 19-25
Last Friday I finally made it to the commissary for a grocery shopping trip, where the primary concern wasn't keeping it light enough to easily carry with weight lifting restrictions in place. :) We hadn't done much grocery shopping for a few weeks, so it would have been easy to go overboard, but now that spring is finally showing up in North Dakota, we don't feel like we need to keep our pantry as well stocked.
Elliott went with me, since he got out of school super early that day (he was dismissed after his performance in the music fest before 10 am). We got most of the stuff on the list, although we did miss a few things. We had a mishap with accidentally deleting a whole section of the grocery list, instead of just one specific item.
However, we ended up spending $146.78 at the commissary. Which is really great in my opinion, since it had been so long.
Then over the weekend we spent $52.07 at Walmart on pet food, produce and yogurt.
Our weekly total this week was $198.95.

Weekly Grocery Spending March 15-21
Last week we ended up going to the commissary twice. My husband went after work on Friday to get the things that I had put on our grocery list app that allows either of us to make changes on our own phone. Unfortunately, I hadn't finished putting everything on that list, since he went before Elliott and I had decided what he would be taking to school for lunches and snacks this week. I also hadn't checked the freezer yet, to make sure we had all the meat we needed to make meals for the rest of the month. So we went back on Saturday to grab the stuff for Elliott's lunch and snacks, the two things they were out of on Friday on our list, and some more meat.
Friday my husband spent $66.37, and Saturday we spent $62.55. My sister also went to the grocery store this week for some produce and spent $5.80.
Our weekly total this week was $134.72.

Grocery Spending February 15-21
This is a really easy week to write about our grocery spending. We didn't go to the grocery store at all. We went for fresh produce last Thursday, and it lasted until Tuesday or Wednesday. We just did without fresh stuff over the last two days (we have lots of frozen, dried, and canned fruit and veggies), and went grocery shopping today. But of course today counts toward next week's shopping, since I do my week from Friday through Thursday.
Our weekly total this week was $0.

Weekly Grocery Spending February 1-7
We finally came in under budget on groceries again this week. I didn't go to the commissary at all this past week. I'm pretty sure I never went on base at all.
I did spend $7.69 on candy at Target and granola bars at Walmart, but that's the only groceries I bought this week.
My sister spent $12.77 at one grocery store on chips, cheese, drinks, and bread. She also spent another $4.48 on donuts and a package of hot dog buns at another store. I think that is all she spent for the week.
Our weekly total this week was $24.94.
That is less than our weekly budget of $100 per week for our family of three adults, one child, two dogs, and a cat. I'm hoping to make some decent progress on our vacation goal in February!
Our total spent on groceries for 2013 so far is $485.85.
We are 5.5 weeks into the year, and our budget is $100 per week, so we are currently $64.15 under budget.

Weekly Grocery Spending January 25-31
I went to the grocery store once this week, and spent $63.48. I posted a few deals and pictures here. I thought that would be it for my totals this week, however my sister went to the grocery store as well. She went last week for $.99 Hamburger Helper, produce, and veggie dip. She decided to stock up quite a bit on Hamburger Helper, since we need to make a food pantry donation run soon anyway, and we like to give a variety of items. By the time she bought the stuff we are donating, plus the stuff for home, the total was $48.24. So we are over budget again this week!
Our weekly total this week was $111.72.
That is more than our weekly budget of $100 per week for our family of three adults, one child, two dogs, and a cat. I better get this under control if I'm going to make decent progress on our vacation goal in February!
Our total spent on groceries for 2013 so far is $460.91.
We are 4.5 weeks into the year, and our budget is $100 per week, so we are currently 10.91 over budget.
