The Frugal Girl

MARCH 6, 2024

A couple of thoughts that might explain the steadiness of my spending: The price of groceries has gone up in recent years I was definitely able to get more bang for my buck years ago as compared to now.

What I Spent So I went to pull together my grocery spending for the week and I realized that it’s all quick trips to Safeway.

I can only be pressed about so many things at one time, and right now, my grocery spending is not it. The post WIS, WWA | $149 and I’m not pressed appeared first on The Frugal Girl. Which is a little high, but I don’t care. My main goal is to mostly cook at home, and other than that, I’m not stressing for now.
