Hurray for Spring!!! There is still a lot of snow on the ground but the sun is shining and the high today is 58*F! I am looking forward to the day the temperature climbs past 60*F because, in my mind, it isn't really spring until it does.
Here is how we have done thus far with groceries this month and instead of telling you EVERYTHING we buy I am just going to put it into categories.
GIANT 3/2:
Produce: $22.50
Dairy: $3.58
Grains: $19.89 (I stocked up on rice BIG time)
Baking Goods: $10.88
Canned/Dried: $3.17
Snacks/Cereal: $8.08
Condiments: $27.35 (I know this seems big but I was stocking up on Extra Virgin Coconut oil)
Personal Care: $5.82
Home: $11.09
Total w/tax= $113.58
Weis 3/3:
Produce: $4.62
Dairy:$4.48
Grains: $5
Snacks/Cereal:$4
Personal Care: $8.39
Total =$26.50
Costco 3/4:
Dairy: $11.88
Meat/Fish: $15.99
Baking Goods: $26.73
Snacks: $4.59
House: $2.59
Total w/tax= $61.78
Budget totals thus far:
Groceries = $172.95-$240= $67.05
Personal Care: $14.21-$20= $5.79
Home = $14.70-$20= $5.30
Dining Local = $17.41-30= $12.59
The beginning of the month always tends to be my big shopping time so I am not appalled by the amount spent on groceries so far. The second shopping trip of the month is usually between $50-75.

Me too. Mainly because I try and get all my groceries for the month in one huge trip and then never return unless for essential where I send Travis and he doesn't get distracted.
I hate grocery shopping! My stake asked me to teach a class on Budgeting in May for the Stake education Day...I think you should teach it instead of me!
