$60 Grocery Budget Meal Plan
I recently started posting my grocery shopping trips and meal plans for the week again.
We’re currently trying to save money on regular expenses so we can pay off some unexpected medical bills, so our weekly budget is $60 to feed three adults. (My oldest three children have moved out on their own.)
Here’s the receipt.
And here’s what I purchased. I shopped at Walmart this week because I had to buy some non-food items (not included in the grocery budget) and I didn’t have time to go to two stores.
I was able to keep the budget so low this week because we are eating dinner at a friend’s one night and we still have some food in the freezer and pantry, along with one loaf of bread and one bag of bagel thins that I froze from the BOGO deal last week.
Weekly Total: $34.99
August Monthly Total: $92.54
