February Grocery Totals

This month I thought it would be fun to show my grocery bill for the entire month. At the end of January, Cory's work decreased his hours and so the need for us to be frugal was very much on my mind. My grocery "goal" or budget (I hate that word!) is about $100 a week. Two of my trips were significantly over that amount (see post below) but I easily made up for it with the weeks that I didn't do any shopping. So it balances out. We have a great Ward Preparedness Specialist who has kept me inspired and excited about saving money. I will be forever grateful for my wonderful sister for teaching me how to save money--and never complaining when I pepper you with questions. LOVE YOU KATY!
So, here are my totals for groceries for the month of February.
Among the savings is 26 cans of biscuits at .25 each
10 boxes of wheat thins/triscuits for $1 each
13 boxes of totino pizza rolls at .65 each
20 cans of Hunt's tomatoes at .60 each
plus a ton more :-)

Spent: 279.53

Saved: 793.52

Sweet! How do you "stay on track"? I get sidetracked, forget that we "need" this or that.
