Grocery Challange - Week #4

Alrighty....I'll have to see how we did this week. I sent the hubby to the store this week since I am without a truck at them moment. I have to say...he impressed me. This was the first time I have ever sent him to the grocery store and he didn't stray from the list. Ok, well...he bought ice cream, but we had talked about it before he left...and we just never "officially" put it on the grocery list!

So here we go:
Household Items:
I've decided to start including TP in this category, since I have added the category to the budget. It just seems like the right place for it to be!
$2.29 ~ TP (should be okay now for 2 weeks)
$5.99 ~ kitchen bags (I wouldn't have bought the giant one...but we won't need them any time soon)
$5.49 ~ Dog food
$1.03 ~ Tax
$14.80 ~ Total
Making the monthly total $24.75

Breakfast:
Didn't need to pick anything up this week. We still have plenty around
Oatmeal
Eggs & Sausage (since I stocked up when sausage was .99/pound)
waffles &/or pancakes

Lunch:

We also have a birthday this week! My youngest is turning 4...and I can hardly believe it! So we will be having a cake and ice cream, and the total on that is $3.43, but worth it!

So that is basicall it! Total for groceries this week was $42.57. Even with the extra peas & tomato sauce that the Hubster found when he got home. He thinks someone threw them in his cart by accident, so hopefully they won't be missing them when they get home!

Monthly totals are:
Groceries ~ $166.89/$200.00
Household ~ $24.75/no budget til next month
