$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 (some information edited to protect my privacy).

And here’s what I purchased.

Weekly Total: $77.45

($17 over budget for the week)

August Monthly Total: $264.52

($22.52 over budget for the month)
