Day 7: More Groceries and Game Plan
Groceries:
Celery $1.79
Smoked pork shoulder $2.08
Dried split peas $1.29
Murray's chicken legs $2.86
Murray's chicken thighs $2.43
Dried small red beans $1.59
Jiffy yellow cake mix $0.75
Dried lentils $1.49
2 cans of tuna $2.50
1 qt. of milk $1.19
Total: $17.97
Money left over: $51.68
With three weeks left, almost half of my budget is gone. I'm sort of freaking out, but here's my game plan:
- Grilled cheese sandwiches with roasted red pepper/tomato soup (this is my favorite quick and easy standby)
- Chicken noodle soup
- Split pea soup with smoked pork shoulder
- Lentil soup with smoked pork shoulder
- Chili (vegetarian if need be, but maybe Pete can buy the beef)
Hopefully this will get Peter and me through 2 more weeks!
