Last week we ended up spending $103.16 on food. After the initial purchase, we bought more chicken, some lunch meat for my husband, yogurt, almond milk and a little more produce. We had a small amount of waste last week and that really bothers me. My fridge decided to freeze my Spinach and Lettuce and I forgot about the beets. Shoot. While we still have a fair amount of food left from previous weeks (Lots of fruit in the freezer as well as chicken and beans), I am wanting to cut back on our weekly spending. I would love to get down to only $50 a week, but with the cost of meat that's hard to do. So, I'm setting my goal for $75 instead of $100.
I decided to not get a share this week of produce, but rather go to a local Produce Stand from a local farm. One of these weeks I'll get around to checking out the Olympia Farmer's Market, just haven't made it that way yet. So, here's what I bought yesterday to get this week started:
 |
| $14.37 @ Safeway (Saved on Bananas using Just4U) |
 |
| $7.49 @ Winco (used $0.50 coupon and $0.50 Ibotta refund) |
 |
$4.31 @ Target (Seriously, Watermelon for $1.62! Score!)
(Used Target Mobile $1/$1 produce coupon and $0.75 Ibotta coupon for milk) |
 |
| $15.93 @ Local Produce Stand |
So, I'm starting this week out with $44.06 spent. Can I make it through the rest of the week only spending another $30? I'm feeling good about it!
