Help me buy groceries.

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

You didn't add drinks...

if you have all meals covered buy junk food lol
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.

Quoting Rista Kat:" You didn't add drinks..."

Maybe she only drinks water.

Is it just you?

I would never be able to make 50 last 2 weeks! lol

Where are you going to shop? I live in KC too and it all depends on where ya go lol

Quoting Dōngtiān:" Maybe she only drinks water."

True.

I would buy a roast and fruit.

Quoting Rista Kat:" You didn't add drinks..."

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.

Its only me and my son and i spend at least $400 a month. i wouldn't know how to eat off $150 a month... so im watching this thread

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

It depends between Walmart and price chopper. I compare prices. Plus i have the price chopper gas card.

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.
