Anyways, so now that you know about the challenge, you can see that we are saving $1000 this month, which means I cut our normal $140 weekly grocery budget down to $40 per week! We are crazy and super excited to save money! So here’s what I got today:

Aldi’s Trip: Spent $35.92

Favorite Deals:

Avocados: $.25 each

Strawberries: $.89 per pound

Gala apples, 3/lb bag: $2.19

Clancy’s Cheese Curls: $.89

Gluten-Free Bread: $2.79

Sprouts Trip: Spent $3.75

One of my daughter’s came to me last week and asked if I could buy some blueberries. I told her that I would if I could get them on sale. Sprout’s has them on sale this week for $1.25 per package, so on my husband’s way home from class he picked them up for her.

Blueberries: $1.25 per package

GRAND TOTAL FOR THE WEEK: $39.67

__________________________________________________________________________

The reason I am able to only spend $40 per week for all the groceries we need, is because last month I saved a lot of our grocery money and bought meat on sale. So my freezer is stocked full of meat to get us through the whole month of May.

Breakfasts:

• gf oatmeal pancake muffins, frozen waffles and sausage, homemade granola, cereal
