Winn-Dixie & personal challenge update...

I got a steal at Winn-Dixie today! I got $127.67 worth of groceries for $63.76!!!

That's a savings of $63.91!! I basically got a buggy load of groceries for HALF PRICE!

So here's my standing for my personal challenge this month:

$250.00 to spend on groceries
-20.21 at Aldi
-63.76 at Winn Dixie
= $166.03 left to spend on groceries in November.

It doesn't seem like much but I've got a pantry and freezer full of stuff to get us through.

While at Winn-Dixie today, I got a rotisserie chicken from the deli for $4.99.
I got a bag of Birdseye Steamfresh broccoli and rotini w/cheese for free with a coupon.
I got a bag of salad for 50c!
I added a pack of fresh mushrooms (bogo deal at Winn Dixie this week) and grape tomatoes (also bogo) to the salad.
I used all that to make supper tonight.

If you add all that together:
$4.99
+ .00 for broccoli and pasta
+ .50 for salad
+1.00 for mushrooms
+1.00 for tomatoes
= 7.49 for dinner for 2!!

AND we have enough chicken and salad left over that we will have it again tomorrow night. I'll add a different side dish to it. But $7.49 to feed 2 people twice is GREAT in my book!


Have you decided what your personal challenge for November is???
