Packing the Pantry

I only spent $80 over the previous three weeks, so I started this week with $80. I stocked up on lots of chicken as well as produce. I only spent $63.78 for everything, which means I ended February with $16. 22 to put in the ever growing cow fund.

I am really excited that I have 14 dinners tucked away in the freezer. I am also excited to see my cow fund grow little by little. I must admit that I am always tempted to cash it in and see how much I have...but, I am determined to wait until the canister is full!! I am not really good wit h surprises :)

First stop was Aldi's...where I only had to pay $21.43 for everything pictured. I can't believe it, their prices are just unbeatable.

Next stop was Kroger...where I spent $38.34! Not too bad considering I got about 19 lbs. of chicken. I also bought 2 boxes of sugar free fruit bars. They are so good, and only 50 calories. No exaggeration, with that $80 in my pocket I felt like I could buy anything I wanted, but I only splurged a little...and they were on sale!

I also made a quick stop at Meijer to pick up lemons, tomato paste, cilantro, a jalapeno, and some tomatillos that were on the reduced rack. I spent $4.01!
