week #18 - 2009 grocery budget

this picture has nothing to do with groceries or meals but it seems like it rains here almost every day.


Purchases

when I did errands, I stopped at the bread outlet, Dollar Tree and Walgreens but all 3 were out of things I planned to buy- in general making trips and buying just 1 or 2 things is not usually efficient or thrifty, but my trip just did not work out like I planned

1 loaf bread and 1 bottle syrup

Walmart
2 grape juice concentrate
tortilla chips, corn and flour tortillas, 2 bottles Pace salsa

1 pound butter 2 yogurt
2 Snuggle fabric softener
2 lavendar scented Fabulosa floor cleaner

  2. Thanks for sharing. I love seeing what other people buy at the dollar store. Any brands or items there that you prefer over more expensive?
