April Grocery Roundup

Week Two:  I can not believe how much EASIER it is to shop with limited funds:)  Today was our second trip to town this month for a weeks worth of supplies.  Mr. MacFrugal is 100% behind the budget process.  He almost has a giddy attitude .. as if he has gold fever ... in reverse.  Gold fever in the fact the he's keeping more of his own gold;)  Today's grocery bags included:

• Two gallons of whole milk (we make buttermilk, yogurt & now kefir)
• 3 lbs of bananas
• 10 lbs of organic carrots
• 1 tub of cashews (I deferred buying vanilla at Costco til next month to get this for hubby;)
• 1 head organic romaine lettuce
• 5 lbs organic white whole wheat flour
• 1 small baggy of bulk dried organic thyme
• 2 bags of natural potato chips (such a deal .. some nice person left two $1 coupons behind;)
• 1 package of local specialty bacon
• 1 package of local specialty German sausage links
• 1/2 lb local specialty roasted turkey breasts for sandwiches
• 2 dozen local eggs

Grand Total:  $63

Local Stores:  Tim's Custom meats ($17), Pilgrims Health Food Store ($9),
National Chains:  Costco ($29), Walmart ($4)
local eggs ($4)

With or without economic hard times, are you on a living budget?  If so, how do you keep on track?
