Grocery Shopping and Meal Planning 2024 Week 5 of 52

Week 4 was another good week. Sunday and Monday we ate chili, Tuesday was hot dog night, Wednesday were pork chops finally, Thursday was leftovers, Friday we went out for dinner and Saturday we had a family 90th birthday party to attend so we were gone all day.

The only thing we bought mid-week was creamer for $7.49 so I will add that to this week’s total.

Groceries this week, cost us $129.92 which includes the mid week run. I stocked up on meat this week taking advantage of the 5 for $25 deal at Caledonia Marketplace.

I should have made my husband stay in the car while I grocery shopped because he’s the one that wanted the Chucky soup for work lunches, then again I bought the Ramen soup for the kid so I guess that’s a wash right? Lol!

I didn’t get a thing prepped this week. I was exhausted after last week and didn’t have any energy on Sunday to do so. Every night after work this week I plan on working at our church parsonage on organizing for the thrift sale coming up the 10th so meals will be quick or crockpot. I really want to make 2 meals out of the chicken legs, we already ate the ground beef in tacos last night and I mistakenly bought another 5-lbs of potatoes so we need to eat a lot of potatoes this week. I will probably have the boy make another potato salad today.

Total spent on groceries so far in 2024 – $412.09

Until next week!- MM

Welcome to my Blog! My world is my husband and son (soon to be moving into his own home) and my step-children (fully grown) and our two cats who are definitely ying and yang. My day job is as Deputy Clerk of my home town in Western, NY but when I get home I have two side gigs, one as a professional private baker, and two, as an Etsy shop owner selling vintage and antique dishes and accessories. I have been gardening and growing my own food since my grandfather taught me at the ripe old age of 5. I stitch, I bake, I grow food, I can and preserve, I grocery shop to save money and eat well and boy do I have massive to-do lists. I hope you enjoy my day to day writings.
