Current Pantry List

Going into April with the following items in the pantry, fridge, and freezer. My grocery budget is 300.00 a month to provide for a family of five, a moderate sized dog, and three cats. The items with the asterisk in front have been used previously, bulk purchases, and are considered lurkers. I will work on using up the items I marked. I would like to get through this week without going to the grocery store. I am finishing up my vacation at home, but will return to work on Wednesday night. I may go to the grocery store on Friday morning. I shop at Aldi, Sharp Shopper, and CVS. I work hard to stay out of the mainstream stores. There are higher prices, and too many people to have to hassle with. I go to CVS to get our prescriptions, and pick up loss leaders.

I will be going to the grocery store on Thursday or Friday this week to pick up a list of things. I keep an ongoing list to make sure I don't miss anything that we are currently out of.
