Help me buy groceries.

posted 31st Dec
I am so used to only spending $50 a grocery trip and making that last 2 weeks. I spend MAX $120 a MONTH on groceries. Now that I have a whopping $150 to spend on groceries I dont know HOW to spend it lol.

I created a list and by my calculations I still have about $30 left to spend. What would you buy? I need something that can expand on what I already have. Try to keep it to things that can make multiple meals please!

Bag of frozen tilapia
Chicken breast cutlets
Pork Chops
Ground Turkey
Spaghetti/Egg Noodles
2lb bag of rice
2 lbs red/yellow potatoes
green beans
greens
spinach
broccoli
mushrooms
spaghetti sauce
cream of mushroom
cream of chicken
tuna
rock road ice cream
butter, milk, cheese and eggs

Do you not eat breakfast at home? I spend soo much on cereal alone
I also have to have juice, sugar, milk, tea bags, bottled water, and a few cake or cookie mixes.

that is a good point lol! That helps. I dont only drink water but drinks are not a priority when I only spend 50 so I forgot about that.

Lots of people don't buy drinks. We drink water only expect coffee in the morning

its me and my son. 50 is doable when you have to. I got so used to it that spending more is hard, as you can tell

I hate hate hate Walmart.
I shop at Price Chopper a lot but may start heading to Aldi more just because their chicken is so cheap.

I figured as much. Lol

I still want to know how you get out so cheap. I buy MINIMAL for 3 (including myself) and still spend at least $100 every 2 weeks.
