Organic Groceries Week #2

So maybe you read my post last week on shopping for organic groceries- maybe not.  You can check it out here if you want to.  Either way, I've decided to spend the next month posting a picture and complete list of all the groceries I buy each week.  I do my very best to shop just once per week and I spend roughly $175-200.

Below is week #2 in my month long series.  I spent $163.87 but I also had $16 in coupons and a LOT of my stuff was on sale this week.  WooHoo!!  I did much better this week then I did last week.

Items are listed from left to right of the picture.

This week I am hosting a birthday party for my Mom.  I will be making lentil sloppy joes (she's been bugging me to make these for her!), Applegate Farms hot dogs from my freezer, fresh corn on the cob, fresh fruit, chips, salad, ice cream and beer.  I will also make her some homemade brownies which are her favorite.

In addition, I have dog food that I will make from this weeks grocery trip.  Pork steak, lentils, veggies.  And also beef steak, brown rice & veggies.  Two separate meals that will last for breakfast & dinner for 2 hungry pups throughout the week.  My dogs love this stuff, I highly recommend you think about making your animals their food!

I will combine the foods I bought this week with my pantry supplies and things still in my fridge and freezer.  This will be more then enough to last us throughout the week.

I shop mainly at Safeway which carries the O Organics brand.  They also have the Open Nature brand.  So when I can't find what I need in organic, I buy the Open Nature as a last resort.  It's still better then the alternative.

Ok- well that concludes week #2.  Next up is Week #3.
