$60 Grocery Budget Meal Plan
I recently started posting my grocery shopping trips and meal plans for the week again, to encourage you to create a workable grocery budget and to help me stay accountable. 🙂
Our current grocery budget is $60/week to feed three adults – my husband, my 18 year old daughter and myself. (My oldest three children have moved out on their own.)
Here’s the receipt.
My total for this week is over our $60/week budget, but I only spent $34.99 last week, so I had extra money in the budget for this week.
And here’s what I purchased. I shopped at Aldi this week because they offer the lowest prices in my area and we needed to stock up after our minimal spending last week.
Weekly Total: $94.53
August Monthly Total: $187.07
