We didn't buy a whole lot of groceries this week. We went to the commissary last weekend, but it was on our way to see Jurassic Park in 3D, so we didn't buy anything that needed refrigeration or freezing. It was almost exclusively lunchbox stuff that we ended up buying. Things like individual applesauce and mandarin orange cups, along with juice boxes, bread, and tortillas. We also bought a few things in the produce department that we knew would be ok in the car for a while (cucumbers, oranges, and apples). We spent $44.21. Yeah, we bought a lot of individual containers of fruit, because it was on sale, and for some reason I can't convince my husband to take regular oranges or apples in his lunchbox, so he takes at least 2 of the little containers of fruit everyday.
We also went to Walmart over the weekend for yogurt and more fresh food. We went there after we watched the movie, so we could get things that we wouldn't want to leave in the car for a long time, like berries. We also got bananas, mushrooms, and kiwi. We also ended up with some frozen food. We spent a total of $38.92.
My husband went to the commissary for milk one day this week. I'm not sure what else he ended up buying, but it was cheap, as our total was only $4.32.
Our weekly total this week was $87.45.
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 $1483.10.
We are 17.5 weeks into the year, and our budget is $100 per week, so we are currently $266.90 under our budget for the year.

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.
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 $1395.65.
We are 16.5 weeks into the year, and our budget is $100 per week, so we are currently $254.35 under our budget for the year.
