Well, we have been living pretty good off of what we have had stored up, but we ran out of a few things so I decided to make an actual grocery shopping trip today. It has been a while since I have had to do this, so I just needed some filler items for the meals I have planned out over the next week. (*starting tomorrow I am going to post a list called Meal Planner Sunday, and list the meals I have planned out and the recipes, ingredients, and where I shop to get the best deals and what I need to make them with.*). I went to Winco and got everything I needed and I think that everything was priced about as good as I would have found anywhere else. I compared items with Sam’s Club’s prices and all the other grocery stores and it was all within pennies.
I spent $42.55 and here is what I got:
(1) 10 lb. bag of Potatoes $1.46
(1) Loaf of Honey Wheat Bread $1.38
(1) Pkg. of Hotdog buns $0.78
(2) Cans of Canola Oil Cooking Spray $1.57 each ($3.14)
(1) Loaf of 5 seed bread $1.51
(2) Boxes of Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks $1.38 each ($2.76)
(1) Bag of mini marshmallows $0.88
4.63 lbs of Sugar (from bin) @ $0.47/lb came to $2.18
(1) Box of Butter Quarters $1.82
(2) Boxes of Margarine Quarters $0.68 each ($1.36)
(2) Cans of refried beans $0.65 each ($1.30)
(2) Cans of cream of chicken soup $0.78 each ($1.56)
(1) 1 lb. container of Sour Cream $1.08
(2) Jars of Strawberry Preserves $2.14 each ($4.28)
(1) Bottle of Olive Oil $3.08
(1) Bottle of Salsa $3.98
(2) Boxes of Macaroni and Cheese $0.38 each ($0.76)
(1) Bag of Chocolate Chips $1.75
(1) Bag of Tortillas $2.75
(2) Cans of Chili $0.92 each ($1.84)
(2) Cans of Diced Tomatoes $0.58 each ($1.16)
(2) Packages of Mission Tortillas (used 2 $.75/1 coupons from the 8/1 SS) $0.98 each ($1.96)
Total = $41.27 + $1.28 in tax = $42.55
Overall I think I did great. I was excited for all I got and the amount spent. I got 32 items and that equals $1.33 each.
