Holy moly I did a super big shop!
You’re lookin’ at:
- bag of organic tortilla chips (Den’s request)
- 2 boxes of squeezable applesauce pouches (Okay, so these aren’t the most budget-friendly at 50 cents per pouch. We’ve just been out of the house so much lately, and I’ve needed food that I can throw in my bag for Hungry Henry. He’s still a bit too young and too toothless to eat most regular food, so applesauce is the perfect take-along snack. And I love these pouches because no refrigerator, spoon or bowl is required. I justify this purchase because they really do save me time and make my life much easier.)
- box of Ak-Mak crackers (yumster!)
- edamame hummus (hey hummus, please meet Ak-Mak crackers, above)
- tub of organic cottage cheese
- bag o’ lemons (I have been going through them like crazy lately!)
- 3 potatoes
- 2 yams
- 2 Preserve toothbrushes (I just love these toothbrushes and their mail-back program so much!)
- small bottle of balsamic vinegar
- jar of marinara
- bottle of peppermint Dr. B’s
- half gallon of organic milk
- jar of salsa
- 2 organic pears
- mango
- 8-pack of yogurt for Maya’s lunchbox
- 4 pink lady apples (used to be 5, but I ate one while unpacking these groceries. Ha!)
- 5 bananas
- box of button mushrooms
- 2 Cashew Cookie Lara Bars (my little pre-gym treat)
- 2 cans organic garbanzo beans
- bag of organic baby spinach
- a bunch of organic green beans
- bag of organic carrots
- 4 Cali yellow peaches
- box of cherries (I’d like to make a batch of my homemade cherry jam out of these but I suspect Dennis will get to them before I have a chance.)
- large box of organic Cali strawberries
My cupboards and fridge were pretty bare before today’s shop, so I went a wee bit over my $50 per week budget. My total today came today $64.46.
I am OK with the overage. We really needed a bunch of stuff. Next week, I’ll try to cut my grocery budget to $35.54 to make up for going over this week. Or maybe not. I may just give myself a pass on this one. Haven’t decided yet.
