Some of you might be thinking that you do not have time to sit down and look at the weekly ad and plan. Well, I timed myself this morning and it took me 30 minutes to review the ads and write out my plan of attack.
Here is my list:
Grocery Outlet -- $20
- Apples
- Bananas
- Watermelon
- Cantaloupe
- Tomatoes
Smart & Final -- $13.46
I normally do not go here, but they are having the best deal on creamer. Since I also need tortillas, I decided to get them here instead of going to Costco.
- Coffee-mate: $1.99 x 2 = $3.98
- Doritos: $1.99 x 2 = $3.98
- 70 ct Corn Tortillas = $2.50
- Flour Tortillas = 2/ $3
Safeway -- $22.83
- Top Ramen: 6/ $1
- Safeway Whole Wheat Bread: $1.99
- Italian Sausage: $3.99
- Gold Fish x 2: $3.09 (BOGO)
- Pop Tarts: 2/ $5
- Safeway Peanut Butter: $1.79
- Frosted Flakes: $1.99
- Apple Jacks: $1.99
- Froot Loops: $1.99
After logging into my Safeway Just 4 U account, I found a $3 off coupon for spending $20 or more. So, my total here will be $19.83
Lucky -- $31.94
- 18 ct Sunnyside Eggs - $2.99
- Sunny Apple Juice: 3/ $5
- Eggos: 2/ $5
- Welch's Juice: 2/ $5
- Milk: $3.98 x 2 = $7.96
- Coke: $5.99
I will roughly spend $85.23 and have a remaining $31.77 of my $120 budget to spend on meats. Lucky has a new rewards program and for every dollar you spend you rack up points. I like to build my points so that I can get a $5 or $10 coupon to use towards a future purchase.
I need to purchase steak, beef stew, bacon.
In reviewing my list, I realized that I did not budget for cheese, so I will need to set aside $5 dollars for this.
