What I Spent I know sometimes at the start of a new year, people make grocery-bill-reduction goals, but honestly, I’m not even gonna stress over that. Maybe after the semester is over, I can do a bang-up job with the grocery bill over the summer. The post WIS, WWA | a new year of grocery shopping!

I can only be pressed about so many things at one time, and right now, my grocery spending is not it. My main goal is to mostly cook at home, and other than that, I’m not stressing for now. My lunch leftovers were at least 25% better than the original dish. Two words we do not tend to use for leftover fried chicken!)

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. Sunday Leftover sandwiches; they’re great reheated in the toaster oven on the air-fryer setting. Wednesday Leftover chicken quesadillas. We had some raw veggies and fruit on the side.

I’m always looking for ways to save my family money to not only help us get through current higher food and gas prices but also to help us achieve our big financial goals. Noone ate the leftover corn, so I cut it off the cob and put it in the freezer to add to our favorite, Chicken, Black Bean & Corn Tacos | Slow Cooker Recipe.

Our monthly grocery budget for my family of 4 is $500. It’s a tight budget and I failed miserably over the summer, but we have lots of financial goals, so I need to get it back in line. Dinner #1 (as they call it) is usually a sandwich or leftovers previous nights. Friday: leftover sloppy joes, french fries, steamed vegetables.

Did you know that meal planning is one of the keys to saving money on your grocery bill? We spent more on groceries. We wasted more food (produce, leftovers, etc. For the new year, I have set a few goals and one of them is to consistently menu plan this year! Leftovers – Ugh. New Year, New You Series.
