Grocery Shopping 7-10-09

Due to being out of town for the wedding, we decided to wait an extra week to go grocery shopping again. I like cleaning out the pantry and fridge by doing this every couple months. Truth be told we probably could have gone another week, but with having my brother and sister here all next week, I didn't want to torture them with the weird assortment of food that we might have eaten. :)

Aldi:

Total Spent: $39.70

Meijer:


Total Spent: $28.84

Deals:
DiGiorno Flatbread - FREE
3 Candy Bars - FREE
Kotex pantiliners - $1.29 - $1 coupon, $.29 each
Herbal Essence Shampoo - $2.77 - $1 coupon, $1.77

Now for the super duper deal...Walmart:


I paid $.18 for all three of those! They were on clearance for $1 each, and I had a $1 coupon. I even had one more coupon, but these were the last three at the store.

Meal Plan:

As I mentioned, I have my little brother and sister with me for the week. I bought more food than usual, and I bought more items that I normally wouldn't so that we would be able to pack picnic lunches for all the places we go next week. (I hope to have daily updates of our adventures!)

Breakfasts:
Oatmeal
English Muffins (plain or sandwiches)
Eggs & Toast
French Toast
Bagels
Pancakes

Lunches: (most of these will be eaten out and about)
Meat/cheese sandwiches
PB&J sandwiches
Egg salad sandwiches
Meat/cheese & crackers

Dinners:
Spaghetti
Hot dogs & fries
Pizza
Hamburgers & baked potatoes
Tacos
Spinach Lasagna Roll-ups
Chicken Divan

Snacks:
Crackers & Cheese
Crackers & PB
Fruit (Apples, bananas, grapes)
Carrot sticks
Apple sauce

Incredible, as always! Great shopping, I don't think I ever see totals that low when I shop.

Have SO much fun with the kids! I will be eagerly reading your updates on your adventures. Love you!

Can't wait for your daily updates on your adventures with the kiddos.

Guess what? There is a Super Target right near our new house. Can't wait to see how they fare pricewise.

Have a great time with the kids. We plan on having a great time too - thanks so much for everything.

Oh mom...there are DEALS at Super Target! They have store coupons that you can stack with manufacturer coupons. I see them all the time. I'll find the site and send it to you.
