Below is what I got for the month and what I spent:
Harris Teeter $4.99
Harris Teeter $23.03
Harris Teeter $31.51
Harris Teeter $6.72
Harris Teeter $16.96
Aldi $11.73
Wegman's $25.96
Harris Teeter $26.99
Harris Teeter $42.65
Harris Teeter $6.60
Aldi $13.88
Target $3.67
Monthly Total Retail $664.79
Monthly Total Savings $450.10
Monthly Total OOP $214.69
I am $54.69 over budget for the month with everything that I spent even though I used sales, coupons, gift cards and everything else possible to get the best deals. I know that I bought a little too much junk food this month as well as some things that we didn't totally need but I got a ton of stuff for the money so I am not feeling as bad I should for going that far over budget on the first month of the year.
For February and going forward, I still have a lot in the freezer including 6 bags of ground beef, 7 bags of chicken, 9 whole chickens, 2 bags of cooked ground sausage, 1 bag chicken fries, 1 bag popcorn chicken, 7 bags of meatballs, 10 bags of cheese ravioli, and two boxes of Barber chicken left. I know that I have plenty of things to get though the month and the only thing currently on the list is blue cheese from Trader Joes. So I am hoping that I can stick to a $100 budget for February to make up for the difference in spending but if it doesn't happen then I am sure it will work out during the year.
