To save time, I did most of my shopping at Walmart this week.
WALMART part 2 (part 1 pictured above)
I took advantage of the Walmart Ad Match Guarantee to purchase ground chuck for $2.59 a pound which is a super low price for our area. [Read more here about how I prepare and cook all that meat.]
WALMART-–Total Spent $175.65.
I also purchased a 32 oz. container of Stonyfield Organic Yogurt, 3.5 lbs of bananas and 2 packages of Lender’s bagels which are not shown in the photo.
Weekly Total: $175.65
April Monthly Total: $428.98
($125/week budget for six people–I am over for the week because I am buying almost two weeks worth of groceries so I don’t have to go to the store for the first couple of days after I return from Guatemala. I am under for the month ($500 budget), though–woohoo!)

Have a great trip Kimberlee.
I too like Walmart the least, but many times it’s the easiest and it’s also the closest.
Thanks Dianna!
Kimberlee- I hope you have a safe and blessed trip. I was quite surprised at prices this week when I ran into Walmart to pick up a few things. Publix has a campaign stating that Walmart isn’t always cheaper, and I am starting to believe them. An 8 oz. package of store-brand cream cheese was $1.99 at W/M! What??? I checked the price at Publix and they sell their store-brand cream cheese 2/$3 (or $1.50 ea). I saw other examples too. It is taking more and more effort to find lower prices. Anyway, God bless and stay safe.
Thanks Mandy! I know what you mean about the prices. I only shopped there this week because we needed some non-food items and I was short on time. It’s my least favorite store.
