My New Year's resolution is to spend $150 cash on our grocery budget. We do have a good pantry stockpile, as well as toiletry stockpile, so in general I haven't had to purchase items for either. I did decide that at least this month & the next I'll allow myself to spend up to $200 (I spent $186) in order to stockpile for the impending arrival of Little Baby.
Here's what that $186 got us:

12 roma tomatoes
1 cucumber
6 romaine hearts
1 bag of onions

1 bag of oranges
4 avocados
6 green peppers
Pantry:

6 cans black beans
2 cans cream of mushroom soup
3 cans tuna
3 cans chicken
2 boxes lasagna noodles
2 boxes ritz type crackers
1 box saltines
1 bottle syrup
1 bag corn chips
2 pack pizza crusts
Frozen:
2 bags shredded hash browns
2 cans frozen apple juice
Bakery:
1 bag plain bagels
1 bag english muffins
Dairy:
heavy whipping cream
unsalted butter
2 gallons of whole milk
1 gallon of skim milk
3 bags of shredded cheddar
1 bag of shredded mozzarella

2 2 liters of Coke
1 2 liter of sparkling water
6 packs of kool-aid
1 pack of crystal lite mix
2 boxes of Duncan Hines cake mix
2 Duncan Hines frosting
2 boxes jello

2 dozen eggs

2 Wishbone Balsamic vinaigrette
2 bags of Indiana Popcorn

All of this for $185.72. Which we used to make these meals:
Definitely an improvement from last month & we're well stocked for this upcoming month. Here's hoping I find some more deals this month before I can't go out & easily bargain shop! ;)
