Our total cost this week came out to $75.22 plus tax. When I did a pickup order it came out to about $77.50, so that leaves us about $21 left in our grocery budget.
We can use that extra money to buy needed items like coffee, sugar, more snacks, etc.
Or we can use that to stock up on good deals like the chicken thighs, ground turkey, mustard, and other options.
If you are currently working on debt repayment or saving for Christmas, you can also move that $21 over to help reach your goals!
This was a great week for grocery shopping, and I hope this meal plan with grocery list helps you!
