May Grocery Challenge - Week 2

I went to the grocery store on Friday. I usually go on Monday's but I needed a few things for the weekend, so I decided to do my shopping for this week so I didn't have to make a second trip. This is for the second week of Krystal's May Grocery Challenge. Here's how I did this week:

$5.00 Cheese blocks (2)
$3.59 Milk
$.99 Frosting (was $1.99, but I had a $.50 coupon that they doubled)
$1.20 Diced tomatoes
$2.99 Cookies
$1.79 Sweet & Sour sauce
$1.99 Tortilla chips
$2.00 Animal Crackers
$4.99 Chicken nuggets
$5.49 Ground turkey (3 lbs)
$.75 Cucumber
$3.99 Fresh Salsa
$2.99 Romaine lettuce

Total: $38.72 (with tax)

My total for the month is $69.43. That gives me $80.57 for the rest of the month.

I also bought 2 reusable grocery bags (not counting as part of my grocery budget). They were $.99 cents each ($2.08 after tax). It's nice because not only will it help to save the environment (and give me a lot less plastic bags), but they credit you $.05 for every bag you bring in each time you shop at Giant. So, basically, after 21 visits, I'll have paid for the two bags with their $.05 credits.

I'll still get a few bags occasionally because I use them for my cat litter. But I'm always glad to reduce the amount I get and throw away.
