Grocery Savings

Yesterday, I went to the grocery store.

My cabinets were beginning to look like "Old Mother Hubbard's." I have not bought groceries in quite a while now. I have been trying to cook up all that I had to help keep some costs down.  I think the only thing, that I have bought since my last shopping trip was eggs, milk, sugar and yeast.


I shopped at Publix and at Ingles.  I'm doing all that I can to stay away from Walmart.  Even Ingles is beginning to do what they can to keep you from saving money. I noticed that about the cheese that I had bought, which was suppose to be on sale.

Here's the low down of what I bought and spent. I didn't do too well this week, due to the lack of items we normally use that were not on sale. ;) Also, you'll notice that there are a few items that would be considered splurges like the ice cream and Coke.
