Weekly Shopping Trip--Stretching Last Weeks

Remember last week when I saved $92.71 and purchased a bunch of markdown meat??? Well aside from a $20 shopping trip yesterday and trip to Save A Lot earlier in the week, I am going to be able to stretch what I purchased with what is in my pantry for another 8 days!!! (Which translates til next pay day!!) No major shopping trip for me this week other than to get WIC items(like milk and eggs) in the next 8 days. :)

Since my pantry challenge ended, I have been able to restock my pantry decent enough to be able to this next 8 days! (See pic below)


Yesterday I went to Family Fare to finish a couple of meals for this next week and get hubby some Wild Cherry Pepsi(his morning "coffee").

Here is what I purchased...

  • 4 cases Wild Cherry Pepsi $9.00
  • 1 bag lettuce shreds $1.00
  • .58 lbs Roma tomatoes 58 cents (these are safe ones!)
  • 1 bottle Ortega Taco Sauce $1.67
  • 2.49lbs bananas $1.47

Total $19.61 with tax & bottle deposits.

I also found some clothes for my dd this week!!

So there is the deals/savings that I found and did this week! Stay tuned to see what my menu is going to look like for the next 8 days!

I just found your blog. I am so impressed by your pantry. I added you to my favorites so I can visit again when I have more time.

you are doing well. I plan on doing an inventory of my freezers and eating from those for the next couple of weeks, doing a menu plan around that.

I plan on doing a post on this for Monday.
