Under budget!

A few weeks ago I made an entry called: Grocery Budget Challenge. I was going to challenge myself to get the most out of our grocery budget and have enough left over to transfer to savings, which will then go to pay off debt.


Our budget for groceries was $300 and I was under budget by $56.04! I was able to do this by shopping at Aldi's and taking advantage of triple coupon days at Superfresh! I went to Superfresh 2 times to do triple coupon shopping. The first time I spent $72 but got groceries worth $200. Some people can do better than that, but I did buy a few things during that trip that were on sale but I didn't have coupons for (ex. blueberries, hummus, salad).


My next trip I spent $20 but got $156.00 worth of groceries! I then only had to stop at the store a few more times for things that were on sale at certain stores, like flour, chicken breast and produce.


Our budget for the next few weeks is $350, but I know I will come under that. We have to stretch it out for awhile though because of the way my husband gets paid next month. I still have plenty of things stockpiled and I bought a bunch of meat on special today. I plan to go back to Aldi's and one of my missions is to try and find a local farmer's market. Wish me luck!
