September was an expensive month for our grocery budget. It seemed like most of our expensive items ran out at one time in August, and we ended up buying higher priced items including salmon, wine, maple syrup, vegan butter, rice and almond milk, olive oil, quinoa, miso paste, vegan mayo, and a few 25 pound bags of bulk legumes. Our total for the month was $332.50, which was humbling after a couple of really low months. Here is a photo of our goods:
I took a handful of photos of our meals since the 10 Item Challenge, and I thought I would share some of those here so readers can get a better idea of what my husband and I eat. I hope you find some ideas for your next menu plan as well.
