In review of the November, 2025 groceries, I spent $560.35 on groceries. That included a $460 Azure order, over half of which was a 55 pound bag of Allulose, which will last us probably 4 years. I'm going to leave it on the record because we bought it and it's groceries. The total includes our Thanksgiving dinner (at home). We did eat out more than we normally do. We ate 4 lunches out, and breakfast out on the day that I had a dental appointment at 7 a.m.
I will not be placing an Azure order in December.
Today we were out and stopped by the grocery store. I had all the groceries lined up on the table to take a picture, a friend called and said she was coming over. I quickly put away all the groceries and never took a picture.
I did take a picture of the receipt so everything is listed.
- 4 packs of Italian cheese
- 2 packs of chocolate bark - candy making
- 5 packages of cranberries - juice to can
- 1 Holiday Board - Vince said this is a nice cutting board. It's shaped like a big snowflake. I said . . it would be nice to mount a cross stitched piece on too. It was only $9.99 so we got it.
- Celery
- Carrots*
- 3 pack of bell peppers*
- bag of lemons
- bag of limes
- 5 pounds of potatoes
- 5 avocados
- Puff Pastry crackers
- Zucchini*
- 2 packs of mushrooms*
- Frozen snacks - sausage in some kind of roll
- Ginger Root*
- Parsley
- Bananas
- Jalapeno Peppers*
- Sugar Snap Peas*
- 2 cans diced green chiles
- Honey/Goats Milk snack
- Goat cheese crumbles
- Broccoli*
- 2 packages of blueberries
- 1/2 gallon whole milk
You are making me hungry with that list of groceries -- I can see I'm going to have to make stir fry sometime in the near future since now you have me hungry for it. I always make extra because I think the flavors are even better the next day. And I want to see that snowflake cutting board/finishing piece. :-)
ReplyDeleteI find this topic very interesting. Is it because I spend so much time or money going to the grocery store? Perhaps I am just odd…whichever it is, these posts definitely intrigue me.

I'm probably the odd one. Almost every one I know either mostly eats out or has to go to the grocery store several times a week if they're cooking at home. I find it a waste of time so if I can add to what I need on the app and once every three or four weeks, hit "checkout" and have it delivered, I'm happy. Vince, on the other hand, loves to walk through the grocery store (any store). I'd rather not be tempted by things we really don't need as most of the time, the packaging makes it look better than it is. I cook pretty much the same, every day type stuff these days so having a well stocked pantry as well as food in the freezer and in jars is pretty much all I need for quite a while. We do get eggs from people in the neighborhood, milk from a local dairy and try to keep either a variety of lettuce growing in the back yard or microgreens growing in the basement. Salad greens, eggs and milk are the things we run out of first so being able to get those without going to the grocery store helps.
DeleteWhat size jar do you can onions in and how do you use them?
ReplyDeleteHalf pints - mostly the taller regular mouth kind but I think there were 12 of the shorter wide mouth kind and 2 quarter pints.
DeleteJust starting a catch-up reading. I had to laugh at “how much” you ate out. John and my eating out definitely tapered off over the years, but we still ate breakfast or lunch out a couple times a week (up to a year ago[?]). I just went through an unused drawer and found a journal from 1997, where I listed meals out. We ate out 182 times! In our defense, that included one week-long trip and 5 weekend trips.
ReplyDeleteIn your next post: there are So Many uses for caramelized onions! I was thinking sandwiches, and Tracy mentioned grilled cheese. Yum. Also would go well in many egg scrambles (maybe not migas) and on pizzas, which I don’t think you do? Anyway, what a lovely thing to have around!
