$100 of groceries

I set a $100 weekly household spending budget for myself at the first of this year. With grocery prices rising so fast, it continues to be a challenge but so far, I am pretty close to my goal. I added up all my spending for the year and my weekly average actually comes to $112 but I am pretty happy with that.
I bought groceries Thursday and this is what I got. This is my actual list and what I bought.

I already had enough meat in the freezer so did not need to buy any. Most of our household and personal products have been bought at Walgreens sales.

Is inflation causing changes in your spending? I would love to hear how you are coping.

My biggest change is no impulse buying and cooking basic foods with not a lot of frills. For example, I baked 3 batches of cookies for our weekend guests, I made oatmeal cookies, snicker doodles and no-bake oatmeal fudge cookies. All 3 recipes are made from basics like flour, sugar, butter, eggs, oatmeal, cocoa and peanut butter instead of more expensive ingredients like nuts, flavored chips, baking chocolates
