Grocery store spending

 I'm trying to keep a close eye on our grocery spending, while ensuring we eat well. For this Costco trip, I managed to stick entirely to our list, with one exception. The spring rolls were on sale for $6.99 for a large box. We keep them on hand for dinners where we need something else to round out the meal (e.g. we have a small amount of grilled chicken, but no other sides). 

Here's what we bought/spent:

  • Salmon - $15.48
  • English Cucumbers - $6.99
  • Mini cucumbers - $6.99 (Nick's top request)
  • Carrots - $5.99
  • Broccoli - $5.99
  • Cauliflower - $6.99 - expensive! I need to look for a cheaper source. It's M's top request.
  • Spinach - $4.49
  • Tomatoes - $7.49
  • Pineapple - $3.99
  • Bananas - $2.49
  • Romaine lettuce - $4.99
  • Apples - $8.99
  • Pears - $9.99 
  • Veggie spring rolls - $6.99
  • Onions - $5.49
Total = $103.34

We weren't out of any dairy or meat this week, and (mostly) stayed on track with the prepared food. So, overall this was a good trip, despite the overall cost of items Those pears are killing me!

  1. For Costco, that's a very good shop. I have a Sam's club and even with my small household, I overdo it whenever I stop
