Week 5 – What we are Eating and How Much We Spent on Groceries 2022

Yesterday’s shopping trip was pretty small, thank goodness! Total spent was $86.63. I didn’t buy from Misfits this week. The most expensive things I bought were bacon at $7.99 and believe it or not strawberries at a whopping $5.99. I guess I won’t buy strawberries again until they are on sale or growing in myContinue reading “Week 5 – What we are Eating and How Much We Spent on Groceries 2022”

Buying from Misfits Market and Traditional Grocery Store Comparison

In my last post I talked about using Misfits Market, an online grocery source. I have run some numbers to show you a comparison between Misfits and my local grocery store prices. Please keep in mind what Misfits offers is organic produce. What I compared at my local grocery store was NOT organic. If theContinue reading “Buying from Misfits Market and Traditional Grocery Store Comparison”

January- What We Ate this Month and How Much We Spent on Groceries 2022

Grocery costs were interesting this month. I started getting a new online delivery service called Misfits Market just for something different. Misfits sells produce at a reduced rate.

I spent a lot on groceries this week, $199.25 to be exact. Ouch right? But we had two special occasions. One, my son’s 20th birthday and two, New Year’s Eve so I didn’t mind spending a little more.

Food Costs and What We Ate Last Week-July Week 1

Have you ever noticed that food seems to be the biggest monthly expense? It adds up quickly doesn’t it?

Dinner Ideas

I have been so frustrated with cooking lately because I feel like I get no help doing it. I don’t bother asking what anyone wants anymore because I get the same answers, either “I don’t know” or hot dogs. In fact I was so frustrated the other day that I took a notepad and wroteContinue reading “Dinner Ideas”
