There's no doubt that groceries takes a big chunk out of any household budget. I have noticed that, living downtown, groceries tend to cost significantly more than outside of the downtown core. I do a big monthly grocery order online and then do a smaller weekly shop as needed. By keeping an eye on the weekly loss leaders and sticking to a grocery list, it is possible to maintain a reasonable grocery budget. Below is my haul from Metro.
1) Metro has daily dinner specials and their Tuesday roast chicken is a winner in my book. $8.99
2)Cashmere toilet paper $3.33
3)IOGO yoghurt was a great deal at $1.99. It is lactose free which is a bonus as Monsieur is lactose intolerant.
4)Lactantia butter for $3.33. Another great deal for name brand butter. Normally, I only see this type of price for no name or house brand butter.
5)The ice cream was $2.99 for the box. It's summer time, enough said.
6)Monsieur is a hot sauce addict and the Grace hot sauce is his favourite. $1.69.
7)Totally unnecessary but we were in the mood for soda. $1 each.
It all came to a little under $25.00 (before taxes). Not bad for a quick grocery run. How do you grocery shop?
