Mondays with Mavis – How to Feed Your Family for $100 a Month – 51

This week was pretty slow around here. I didn’t buy much because I’ve been home baking cookies and putting a few meals away for later in the week when I’m gone on our Epic Road Trip to St. Jude. We’ve also been eating from our garden and using items we purchased last week so I really didn’t need to buy much.

Here are the things I picked up:

Albertsons $11.99

Note to self: Never go shopping when you are craving sugar because you might just come home with a giant tub of licorice and eat 25 pieces on the way home from the store. 😉 Ha!

Fred Meyer – $5.43

I needed some unsweetened coconut and sliced almonds for my homemade Honey and Almond Granola recipe. I’ve been in love with Bob’s Red Mill unsweetened coconut for awhile now and it’s the only stuff I’ll buy.

Fred Meyer $5.18

Moooooo!

And last but not least, here’s what I picked up from Mr. Produce Guy last week for free. 🙂
