May Savings Update

Since I know everyone waits with baited breath the hear how much money I have saved. Sorry for no post on Friday. I've got a life you know. :) I thought I'd update you all.

I hit the produce co-op again on May 30th! I picked up 2 shares, one for me and one for my sister. Each cost $15.75. Then I got a Mexican pack for myself. It's kind of hard to see in the picture but the Mexican pack inlcuded:

1lb tomatillos

10 key limes

1 bunch green onions

5 jalapenos

2 large yellow onions

3 garlics

1 bunch chilantro

1 lb corn tortillas

Not too bad for an extra $5.50

Again I don't think all this would have cost $50 if you take into consideration that most of this stuff is on sale this week but we definately saved at least $20-$25 again! The best news is is that they are coming to Cache Valley in the very near future!!! They have site managers lined up! I can't wait!

Today I used some of my produce to make Mango Salsa

I used:

1 mango diced

1/2 Avacado diced

2 tomatoes diced

1/2 jalapeno pepper minced

1/3 cup chopped cilantro

1 1/2 minced cloves garlic

1/2 tsp salt

1 tbsp lime juice

A couple tablespoons minced red onion (I eyeballed it)

1 1/2 tbsp olive oil

SO yummy!

Then I used the other 1/2 of avacado and made guacamole.

So how did I do for the month of May anyway?

I spent $299.31 (just in under budget! YAY!)

This was for all groceries, houshold supplies, health and beauty items and even diapers.

I saved $775.58

For a savings of 72%!!!
