Real Food on Budget
Week of March 12, 2018.
After taking a few weeks off, it is time to get back to posting my weekly grocery shops. It is almost hard for me to believe but I am still using up my meat in the freezer. I am sure we an go almost another 2 months on the supply I have built up. Having said that I am not going to pass up any good sales on chicken while I am using up my stock. I don't believe in using all I have up and starting fresh. I feel the way I save money is that I continuing replenish my small stock of what we use so I never have to pay full price for any of it. There are staple items we us week after week so to use it all up without always looking for a sale doesn't make any sense to me. I always keep a running list of our staple items and review it weekly. This week brown sugar was on sale so I grabbed two bags of brown sugar to have one in my pantry and one in my container.
