How We Spend Less Than $100 a Month on Groceries Week 23 of 52

It was another great week eating local and I could totally get used to eating this way. Now, if I could just get the boys to eat soup, salad and stir fry all the time… life would be easy. 😉

I didn’t buy any milk last week {because I’m still not drinking hot tea} nor did I buy bread {I still have a bunch in the freezer that I sliced and put away last week}.

This week my main goal is to just use up the remaining produce in the fridge and to harvest what I can from the garden {mostly lettuce and radishes} before heading home this weekend.

I’m looking forward to seeing what my local farmer’s market has to offer {produce wise} when I get back. In the past the produce there has been about 50/50. Some locally grown {and by local I mean within a 30 miles radius} and the rest trucked in from eastern washington. Since I can get produce from eastern washington at the local produce stand in town, I usually just buy it there. So we’ll see.

Farmer’s Market $25.25

Lettuce, spinach, broccoli $3.oo each
Asparagus $3.50
Cucumbers, zucchini $0.75 each
