$200 per Month for Groceries: Update


I don't have a lot of time today, but I wanted to quickly show you this morning's grocery shopping trip.  Between Giant Eagle and Aldi, I spent a total of $64, which brings my total for the month to about $192.  I think I have everything I need for the rest of the month, but I still have $8 to spare if I forgot anything!  

It took me about 30 minutes to prepare these trips today.  YOU CAN DO THIS!!  =)

Less than $100 for Two-Week Menu

Today I did a two-week grocery shopping trip. First I checked the sales, then quickly made a two-week menu, prepared my shopping list, clipped coupons, and loaded several e-coupons onto my Giant Eagle shopper's card.  I shopped at both Aldi and Giant Eagle and paid $97 for everything you see below.  




My fridge and shelves still hold lots of items from previous weeks, so I didn't have to buy everything I needed for my two-week menu, but I did have to restock several baking items and canned goods.

Our two-week menu includes some yummy meals such as homemade pizza, meat, vegetarian, and white chili (we like chili), chicken pot pie, spaghetti casserole, beef and noodles, spinach and feta cheese quiche, etc.
