My actual food expenditures this week.
Pretty close to the cost of a single fast food meal.
3.5 lbs chicken legs $1.90... 10 lbs./$5.50
1/2 lb ital sausage $1.00... $1.99/lb (sale)
1 lb bacon (ends) $1.00
14 eggs $1.16 .99/doz (sale)
54 oz baked beans $1.19 (salvage)
28 oz mustard greens .89 ‘’
4 lbs potatoes .80... 20 lbs/$5.00 (sale)
2 lbs onions .85... 3 lbs/$1.29
15 oz green beans .35 (salvage)
breakfast grits all week .25
7 oranges .70... 15/$1.50 (salvage)
Left out coffee and condiments, and would have bought some fresh greens if there were any good ones at a decent price. Also energy costs are not included.
When I’m working I spend at least three times as much!
(And these bacon ends are terrific, very good quality. Don’t know how they do it when packaged bacon costs 4 times as much.)
That’s not bad at all.
Best deals I got today were:
Rice Krispies and Cinnabon cereals for the kids $1.88 each
I had 2 coupons for $1 off 2 and on the krispies boxes were coupons for buy two get free marshmallows. Bonus free marshmallows!
Ground beef $1.49 lb
Had to skip the potatoes and tomatoes because they were too expensive.
I’ve never heard of bacon ends. What department do you find them in? I may have to look closer.
