Grocery update

March 15th, 2021 at 07:49 pm

Stopped at Asian market for sahimi for dinner Saturday. Spent $40.64.  

Black Cod $9.77b (16.99/lb) - miso butterfish i'm making

Hamachi $6.93 (29.99/lb)

King Salmon 6.61 ($30.99/lb)

Tuna $9.04 (26.99/lb)

Curry paste $4.99 and $3.29 = $40.63, running total $450.40 for the month

Well that explains how my grocery bills have been outrageous.  I'd say at least once a month we bought sashimi and prepped it at home if not every three weeks and usually I don't show such restraint. I usually buy way more and better quality. I picked the cheaper stuff.  I usually figure it's way less than what I spend on sushi even takeout.  Takeout sushi for us runs closer to $100 out.  More when we go out.  And I usually throw in a can of Asahi or two at the store.  

I need to go to Costco and get milk and bacon (plan on buying at least 3 packages and 2 packages of milk).  I'm also thinking of buying non-persishables but I have $375 executive check and my rebate check of $300+ to spend at costco.  So maybe I'll save it.

Question - do I consider it grocery budget if I buy it using my rebate check? Or is it free because I didn't pay for it?

    I think I need to count it but not against the budget if that makes sense. I think I'm really on the fence for cutting out budget but I need to go to costco for milk and bacon. I think that $675 for a family of 4 is really tight and I'm not sure I can make it. I am also delaying buying stuff like toilet paper and paper towels but maybe I should wait and see how long it lasts when I buy it from costco. I think 2 months but I could be wrong.

    I'm on the fence as far as the rebate. Since you are tracking your grocery spending, I would say count it. Otherwise, I'd say you got stuff free by using it.

    Costco Rebate from grocery spending and gas. Everything else goes on chase sapphire preferred or before reserve credit card. But we are spending a lot less now.
