I am really sticking with the no more than $50 a week food budget this week. I can up just shy of the $50. Boy did it come very fast this week. Kroger started their Mega Sale this week and I have alot of items I want to get over the next two weeks while the sale runs BUT I am having to space out what I buy so I stay within budget.
Part of my weekly budget went to Horizon milk for my daughter, to be exact $12.81 (including tax).
Some weeks are more unusual than others. For the last four weeks Kroger had the Horizon Organic Milk 8oz. Singles on sale for $1.00, normally $1.19. I was able to get 80 coupons off Ebay for a few dollars last week and again this week that were for .25 off one.
Luckily my Kroger doubles every coupon 60 cents and below so I would be saving 50 cents a milk. That is a 50% savings plus I got a recycle bag credit for every bag of my own I used. The only down side is they will only double 8 of the same coupon in one transaction so that meant multipule transactions but my Kroger is just around the corner from my house.
Mom was sweet enough to take half the coupons and purchase the milk also. So we got 80 milks for $40 normal price would have cost us $95.20.
The things I do for my kids, they really do love this milk and this is my daughter's favorite drink for her school lunches. Another plus is that is shelf safe, meaning I do not have to refrigerate any of the milk until I am ready to use them. This should keep her stocked in organic milk this complete semester of school and if I squeeze in a Capri Sun every now and then I can make them last a good ways into January maybe February.
