I subtracted the cost of the kidney, liver and scad from the total as that's for making dog food and budgeted separately from the food bill, and I also subtracted the parchment paper and Ziploc bags as my household goods are also a separate budget item.  So I only counted the food cost of $146.83.

(The cupcakes are for my son's soccer tournament and the juice boxes will last 6 weeks.  My kids get one a week on the one day they attend an in-person school day.  I don't usually buy so many at once but they were on a good sale already plus a buy 4 and get $2 in points promotion)

  
$27.55 in savings/discounts and 1406 ($14.06) in points value earned from Fresho.

$8.61 for 1.2kgs of chicken breast from flashfood!  Not a usual purchase but as we haven't had chicken breasts in ages as I haven't seen a sale in whole chickens in far too long. The chicken nuggets were also a splurge purchase and will get thrown in the freezer for a night I need a quick convenience food as it's cheaper than takeout.  



I'm a little bummed though I just noticed the service fee for flashfood has gone up to 8% (plus it's taxed) 



My total food cost so far this month for a family of 8 is $1083.95 which included eating out 2 1/2 times (5 of us has lunch at Costco so I'm only counting it as a half lol. I didn't add the $35 spent on a gift card we got for Christmas for a quick deli meal one night either though as that exists outside our budget)

We have $116.05 remaining for the month.  We will need fruit and milk, hoping for some flashfood deals on both, or some good flyer deals for fruit starting Wednesday cause this week's apple and orange prices stink everywhere 👎
