In September we had a total of $369.30 to spend for the month. During the first half of the month we spent $185.40. That left $183.90 for the second half of the month.
What we ate:
Cheese and crackers ( it was late and we were tired); grilled burgers from the freezer, fried green tomatoes, roasted acorn squash; leftover sandwiches from lunch; leftovers (burger, green tomatoes, cauliflower, Waldorf salad); meatloaf from the freezer, baked potato, corn on the cob; Pork from the freezer, corn on the cob, squash; sauerkraut casserole, peas, homemade English Muffin bread, brownies; Buffalo chicken casserole, mixed vegetables, tomatoes with mozzarella cheese and balsamic vinegar; meatloaf from the freezer with roasted beets, radishes, zucchini and potatoes; leftover smorgasbord; pepperoni balls and taco balls with chips and fruit; pasta with meat sauce ( made over meatloaf), salad and garlic bread; tomato basil soup, sandwiches and chips
What we bought:
CSA: corn, pears, tomatoes, grapes, raspberries, butternut squash, peppers, onions. $12
Tops: rice side dishes (10), pasta (5), tomato soup (5), wheat thins, orange juice, celery, chicken breasts (6lb.) $26.12
Walgreen's: instant Maxwell House decaf coffee (3), olives (2), tuna. $13.95
Aldi: mac and cheese (welcome home from hospital meal) $0.89
Giant Eagle: canned beans (8) $4.72.
These are great for fast meals, although I like to work with dried beans when possible because they are cheaper.
Aldi: eggs (2), macaroni and cheese (2), butter (2) $7.04
This butter is the first I have had to buy since last holiday season, almost a year. Not bad.
Total spent on groceries: $64.72
Meals Out:
Day out at Yankee Peddler. $21.72
Lunch with Angela. $12.50
Lunch with Ginger $6.72
Total spent on meals out: $ 40.94
Grand Total: $105.66
That left $78.24 out of this month's allocation to add to our cushion, which now stands at $480.19.
