Costco Grocery Run on Budget

December 31st, 2024 at 02:47 am

While we were at Costco doing our household supply run, we also did a grocery run as a separate purchase.  I like to keep my grocery budget separate from my household budget.  It helps when using the envelope system if I don't mingle the cash from different envelopes just to make things easier on the cashier or people behind me to do one purchase.  I'd rather make it easier on me so I don't have to try to figure it out later.  I'll have two separate receipts and it will be nice and tidy.  Here is what I bought:

6.5 pound bag of Kirkland frozen boneless/skinless chicken thighs $17.49 or $2.69/lb (I won't buy Tyson)

4 pound bag of frozen organic strawberries $10.49

Bag of 48 10 inch flour tortillas $7.39

1 case of Saltine crackers $6.99 or 58¢ per sleeve

1 case of organic tomato sauce $11.99

2 pack of avocado spray oil $12.99

2 bags of beef mandu $13.89 each

1 pound 4 oz bag of (clean) bacon crumbles $8.99

4 pound bag of roasted vegetable melange $15.99

2 pound package of 4 types of sliced cheeses $9.99

8 pack fresh corn on the cob $6.99 (I know, I know, it is out of season, and I usually don't do that, but it looked so good)

1 package prosciutto $11.99

1 mega pack Kraft singles $12.59

1 double pack Ball Park beef franks $10.79

1 5 pound bag organic cane sugar $9.49

1 5 pound bag organic brown sugar $8.99

1 large jar organic strawberry preserves $8.49

1 bottle avocado oil $21.39

1 jug organic maple syrup $12.99

1 container organic ghee $18.99

1 avocado oil mayonnaise $9.39

1 larg jar marionberry/blackberry preserves $8.79

1 jar minced garlic (or as my friend says, jarlic) $6.99

1 box red kiwis $7.99

1 bag gluten free flour $10.99

1 large wedge Romano cheese $19.96

1 bunch organic bananas $2.49

1 large organic Caesar salad kit $8.99

2 cheese trays @$12.99 each

3 lb box of black grapes $7.99

2 boxes of 24 organic eggs @$8.99 each

The grand total was $380.33.

I was able to pay exact change since I do keep my grocery change in my wallet until the following payday.  I have $340 left in my grocery envelope, mostly because I haven't been spending much of our grocery budget for the last couple of paydays.  I do intend to pick up a few things tomorrow.  Payday is Friday so I will have a new budget of $400, but am hoping to keep shopping to a minimum for the month of January.
