Well here I tried to cover most of the items that are included in my monthly grocery list. Other things such as dish soap toilet paper etc. I get from several stores such as my local supermarket when its on sale walmart and local dollar tree.

I try to separate my grocery budget with $100 for one store and $100 for the other. And always shop with a list. Other items such as milk and bananas I get as a needed basis since we consume a lot of it.
