Total food: $97.39
This is for my family of 6 for 2 weeks.
Now, I could have trimmed that a bit. There are a few 'luxuries' on there. The cereal bars are something my OD loves to have for her after school snack. The Fluff was also a special request from her, I only buy it probably once a year. The deli meat is mainly for the husband's lunches since he is unable to bring leftovers or heatable foods to work. There are also a few things on there that will last for longer than the three weeks. The onion soup mix, the flour, the salt, the condiments, the corn starch, the dry milk, etc.
Here is my menu for the next 2 plus weeks:
Corn Chowder, dinner rolls
Chili & corn bread
scalloped potatoes & ham
sweet & sour chicken, rice, veggies
beef & macaroni supper
ribs, mashed potatoes, corn on the cob
sweet & sour meatballs, egg noodles
lasagna, salad, garlic bread
spaghetti, salad (twice)
pot roast, potatoes, carrots
corned beef, potatoes, carrots
spam & veggie sandwiches on kaiser rolls & french fries
egg burritos (twice)
pancakes & sausage, applesauce
hot turkey sandwiches, veggies
macaroni & cheese w/ kielbasa, veggies
You will probably notice things on my menu that are not on the grocery list. That is because I don't empty my pantry/freezers (I have three) each time I go shopping. I always have a running supply of food in my house. Unless of course we are getting ready to move, and in that case I do a grocery shopping exile :P I didn't happen to get milk this time around, cow's milk or soy milk. I will have to go back for at least more soy milk before the 2 weeks are up. Bummer.
My nonfood stuffs:
17lb Purina (diet) dog food $4.97 after coupon
14lb box Fresh Step cat litter $4.76 after coupon
24 cans cat food $4.97 after coupon
12 bars Ivory soap $2.53 after coupon
(3)40ct Snuggle dryer sheet (on sale)$1.00
1 gallon Chlorox rain fresh bleach $1.61
Softsoap body wash $0.69 after coupon
8lb dry cat food $2.99
Total nonfood: $25.25
Like the food stuff, there are things on my bi-weekly nonfood list that will last waaaay longer than two wks. All but the cat litter will last at least a month (the wet cat food will last closer to 3 months). And the bar soap should last at least 6month, the boys are the only ones who use it.
There are also things that you might think are missing from my nonfoods list, toilet paper, toothpaste, etc. But these are things I stock up on. We currently have enough toilet paper & toothpaste to see us through the summer at least LOL.
Total for 2wks: 122.64
My total grocery bill was actually $158, but the extra $30+ was for foodstuff for the husband's retirement party next month :) |
