$314.30 Getting more on point
After I hit this total, I will admit I started to get very anxious about food prices going higher. I also am anxious about not having items for the future. I tried to place a walmart pick up order twice, and both times it got canceled an hour before pickup. I will no longer be trying to do pickups at walmart, and I don't like going into the store.
I did a meat stock up at bj's and spent 124.18. It included 3.25 lbs of stew beef that I seperated into 3 freezer bags. 2.5 lbs of beef for stir fry, which we cooked half and froze half. 2 large bottles of wishbone Italian Dressing mainly for marinating. 6 cans of sausage hash, 3 lbs of premio sausage links, 4 lbs of 93% ground beef divided into 3 packages. 96 ounce box of Bisquick, 10 lbs of frozen chicken breasts and 25 lbs of rice.
A separate order picked up the same day/time at bj's totaled 59.39 and was produce and dairy. We have all been enjoying berries. Even me, and I'm not a fruit person. 12 oz raspberries, 12 ounces blackberries, 6 mini cucumbers, 48 oz mexican shredded cheese, 48 ounces shredded mozz, whole watermelon, 2 lb baby carrots, 3 lbs sweet potatoes and 30 ounces cheese sticks.
Big Y instacart 37.71 Deli meats, potato bread, hot dog rolls, wheat thins (big box requested by pops) 5 lbs flour, 4 lbs sugar and 2 pints of ice cream for the men.
Big Y $43.12 instacart (3) what we used to call half gallons of Friendly's ice cream on sale for 2.99 each. (2) lbs strawberries, 1 lb raspberries and 1 lb blackberries. .25 lbs of hard salami, rare roast beef, german bologna and white american cheese. Halo Top pint of lemon ice cream. Yes, we are eating alot of ice cream. A lot of fruit too, which is different than past year plus 2 lemon yogurts.
Though way over what I wanted to spend, it gave me peace of mind, and I had the cash to do it. Next plan is to can some of the meat I have in the freezer in case of power loss.
It is interesting what other people buy. I must admit we are going heavy on the ice cream. I worry what will be available, too.
