Mid Month Savings

I have been doing good with my quest for savings with groceries. I am getting a little nervous now that I am down to $25 for the rest of the month. I do have my CVS emergency stash card of $25 but I hope I don't have to use it. We do have several dinners worth of soup or chili with grilled cheeses along with at least three meals with chicken breast, one meal with a whole chicken, two meals of pork chops, a pork roast and one last beef roast. That will carry us for about 11 dinners and there are only 16 more days left in the month. So that is good! We have enough canned goods for each dinner. I have several staples to make some goodies. So if I really stay determined, I think we can use our last $25 for milk.

I have to say, saving sure is fun! The whole gang has joined in and help choose our groceries tonight at Smith's based on sales and coupons. We saved a total of 59%! The best I have done so far in saving this month is 69% and the worst has been 39%.
