Project: Food Budget–Week 37



37 weeks and still kicking on the food budgeting!

2Chili wants everyone to know that many of these week’s selections are his and I had nothing to do with them. It should be fairly clear to tell from the photo below whose items are whose…



Honestly, though, he didn’t do too badly. 2Chili has developed a chips and salsa habit to rival his father’s (which is saying something), and he keeps his sweets to vanilla sandwich cookies. It could be worse!

I don’t really care for shopping at Safeway because they generally don’t have what I want, and the organic foods section is weak, but you certainly can get a lot for a little as compared with other, more expensive…ahem Whole Foods…markets.

Total this week: $67.68
Total for the month: $145.04
Budget for the month: $350

Menu for the Week
We just did this shopping on Wednesday because we had been out of town over the weekend and into the early workweek…so no real menu to speak of is developed yet!

  • Ha! How dare you! Coconut milk when the post linked right before this one is a recipe for homemade coconut milk! haha, just kidding.

    Funny, I was watching another Ninja lover on youtube make almond milk and I swear the process he went through just for a few cups of milk, I dunno. It seems like a heck of a lot of work. He was soaking, peeling, straining. I guess it would be good to do sometimes, but it’s always nice to have a “reserve” carton in the pantry. LOL

    You are doing well on the budget this month! Yay

  • Oh, I know! I downed that coconut milk in about two days – I just use too much of it. Plus, that was an instructional for people who want to do it! I generally take the lazier way out on almond and coconut milk!

  • I still do want to try it, for both coconut and almond!!! Just to say I did it! Plus to make some yummy coconut cookies!
