This week's Market Report
Another week - another visit to the market. Today I came in $4 under budget, though I'm probably going to spend that at a traditional grocery store.
For my $36 I got
4 red pears
2 smaller butternut squash
10 kiwis
1 package of habanero peppers
2 bags of spinach
1 giant bag of green onions (I have no idea what to do with that many, but it was only $1)
6 mangos
3 large red onions
4 baking carrots
4 grapefruit
1 lb jalapenos
1 lb poblano peppers
5 plums
7 limes
6 lemons
6 oranges
3 large avocados
2 bags of small sweet peppers
I still need to buy for the week
shredded cheese
snack food for the husband and kid
butter
maybe some broccoli
Before today I had $168.97 left over for the week.
Now I have 132.97
Two more trips to the market will use up $80 of that and I have only $17 a week left over for each of the 3 weeks. I estimate I will spend $10 this week on additional items and think each other week will come in under too. Basically, it's looking good for keeping it below $300 this month.
