Balance Update....Week 3 and 4!

If you are just joining me...I am having a personal challenge over the month of March...to see if I can stay out of the grocery store and cook meals with only what I have on hand!

I have done fairly well I think.

There are some things that need to replenished every few weeks. I am feeding a family of 8 and the basics need to be bought each week....but I tend to buy to much!


Well Week 3 was by far my best week!
I only spent $30.00 at Safeway!

I bought:

cheese,tortillas,cereal and some fresh fruit!

Week 4

I spent a total of $98.36

Here is the break down

$56.00 at Safeway

bought

bread,soy milk,almond milk,3 boxes of tea

fresh fruit,5 dozen eggs, tomato sauce

some juice as a treat!

I then spent $42.36 at Safeway

to buy

lettuce,spinach,onions,sunflower seeds for salad,potatoes,large package of ground meat,

cheese and bread!

This past week I managed to get one large ham and some veggies out of my freezer!

We ate ham and baked potatoes

Ham and potato casserole (with mixed veggies and 1/2 bags of hashbrowns I had in the freezer)

Ham and eggs

Navy bean and ham soup

I have also done very well staying away from the non food extras that tempt me!

Peace and Blessings,
