The Everyday Bean

I’ve decided to share what we purchase for the next year. My goal is to spend no more than $1100. That’s not very much at all – just $19.24 a week. This excludes holiday and birthday meals. It also excludes the garden seeds I plan to buy this month. This will force me to be very choosy and selective and creative. I couldn’t do this if we didn’t have a storage room full of food. I am truly grateful for provident living.

I sent my husband to Wal-Mart to buy the following items:

1 bag Romaine lettuce hearts $3.86

2 bags frozen broccoli florets $1.16 each

2 Haas avocadoes $0.56 each

1 Roma tomato .32 cents

1 block great value cream cheese $1.56

1 Bettergoods plain whole milk Greek yogurt $3.93

1 24 oz. Daisy 4% cottage cheese $3.94

That brought our subtotal to $17.05 for the week. Not bad!
