Sam’s Club – $32.29<\/p>\n

Sam's Club 2019.01.15<\/p>\n

Aren’t these milk jugs from Sam’s trippy? I just ran a price check and discovered that 1% from Sam’s Club (where they differentiate price by fat level) is cheaper than at Walmart (where they have the same price for all fat levels.) ALDI remains the cheapest for 1% milk, but their stock doesn’t seem to move as quickly and I often feel like their milk tastes off even before its expiration date.<\/p>\n

Walmart – $34.27<\/p>\n

Walmart Grocery Pickup 2019.01.16<\/p>\n

I put everything in my online cart on Monday, intending to order pickup for Tuesday after Sam’s Club. But when I hadn’t received notification that my order was ready after my Sam’s Club pickup, I checked my app…and discovered that I’d never checked out. Fail.<\/p>\n

So, I went out for pickup on Wednesday. Thankfully, Walmart is relatively close to where we live, so it wasn’t a terrible nuisance to go out again.<\/p>\n

Friday, January 18<\/strong><\/p>\n

ALDI – $78.34<\/p>\n

ALDI 2019.01.18<\/p>\n

Not shown: a three pound bag of mandarin oranges (for $1.99) that we’d had for lunch and which I forgot to take out of the diaper bag in time for a picture, and a bag of entirely forgettable “Penguin” crackers (knockoff Goldfish). The children enjoyed the Penguin crackers. I ate two and decided they weren’t worth it. The remainder are stashed in the car console for emergencies when we’re out and about. I won’t be getting them again.<\/p>\n

\n

That’s $144.90, which is $29.90 over my budget of $115 per week.<\/p>\n

I emptied out my freezer and fridge over the holiday when we were gone for so long – and I’m busy filling the freezer up since we’re on a new menu cycle (I put at least three extra meals in the freezer this last week). And I did buy a pork roast (for the freezer) and a couple family packs of chicken breasts (one to shred for the freezer and one to make multiple batches of crockpot orange chicken). So that’s probably where my overage is coming from. Hopefully I can work to bring it back down next month when we’re doing round two of our menu cycle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
