Monthly Sam's Run--August

This is the month of trying to get back on a schedule after being on summer break. One of the things that I need to get back on schedule is my grocery shopping. I have been going every week but with the needing to get started with schooling it is difficult to find time to go every week. So I switch to every other week with a small trip in between for milk and other perishables. I did this towards the end of last school year and it really kept my budget on track and kept my shelves rotating the stock. At the end of last week, I went to the grocery stores and purchased items to last me two weeks. Then this week, I went to Sam's to finish the stocking up along with getting things to last over the next month so now my pantry and freezer are bursting at the seams!!

Here is what I purchased for this month from Sam's:

• 30lbs Ore-Ida french fries $17.28
