It’s time to go shopping again! If you have been following along for the past few weeks, you can basically see how I shop based on what is at the lowest price. This week I am stocking up on condiments, such as Mayo and Mustard because they are within the lowest price I will pay ($2 for mayo and $.60 for mustard). Pickles and Velveeta too (both around $2). The Lifesavers are just a treat, since we are headed out of town for the weekend (FL Homeschool Convention). This is also the only time I stock up on Lighters for summer BBQ’s. They should go back on sale again near the end of summer, but the coupon will be a little less in value, therefore making them a higher price.
Here’s what I got today at Publix: (This sale ends on Weds 5/30, so you still have plenty of time to shop! Check out the entire list HERE.)

Remember, I buy most of my meat at a local Meat Market, and Produce at a local Produce stand, so keep in mind that this shopping trip is contributing to my stockpile to use in conjunction with that meat and produce bought elsewhere. We are feeding a family of six for around $300 per month. So far this month I have spent $111 + $25 + $54 = $190.57. In the coming weeks, I will show some produce and meat shopping trips (those trips are only about once a month).
Be inspired!! If I can do this you can too!
~Happy Shopping!
