We only buy beef from the local butcher shop and Jeff is usually the one to do it. I think it smells really yucky in there. So..we only buy it once in a while and we stock up. We bought 10 lbs ground beef and 1 chuck roast for $40. For the next few weeks I will be subtracting $5 from my weekly budget until it's "paid off". This is the first time I've had to buy meat since I started my budget so let's see if this works!
$42.87

breadcrumbs
5 dozen eggs
1 package hamburger buns
1 bag chicken breasts
2 cake mixes
2 cans of pineapple
3 lb bag of apples
1 container organic spinach
2 sweet potatoes
1 vidalia onion
1 bag of ripe bananas (still good to eat for a couple days, then banana bread!)
2 gallons of milk
