OK, I have put this off as long as I can, but I have to 'fess up: total shit show to start the month. The thing I am really kicking myself about is that my Subscribe & Save "change your subscription by" date came while I was taking care of my Granny, and I was focusing on taking care of her and completely spaced it. And I have a
lot of things that I didn't need and that I had pushed off for a month or so, and then a number of "every six months" items that I also didn't need that were also scheduled. So I arrived home to almost $200 worth of food/HH/meds I didn't need.
UGH. I mean, I'll use it, it just kills the month. And it was completely avoidable. I was just a doofus.
And then I went ahead and doubled down and let DH do the shopping while he was out, so he went to Wegmans and converted a
@$65 list into a $120 bill. Meanwhile, our farmer's market finally opened for the season, and I splurged on ribs* and chicken pot pie for DD's birthday, along with some herbs and the like, to the tune of almost $70. And the worst part of it all is that we still have half the stuff I made last week from our giant Wegmans shop the previous week -- this weekend was supposed to be a quick ALDI supplemental run.
Enough whining, time to read 'em and weep: MTD $203 groceries, $163 HH -- or almost 2/3 of the monthly goal in 6 days. Sigh.
I guess the only good news is that in the past, I have dropped more than that at Wegmans without batting an eye. At least now I'm paying enough attention for it to hurt!
*The real embarrassment is that these packages were all marked between like 0.98 and 1.20. So I thought it was like $4. But that was the weight, not the cost (duh!), and when it rang up to $22, I was too embarrassed to do anything but fork over the money!
