So I always post decent shopping trips but here's one that wasn't so great. I've had a rough week and haven't had time to plan like I normally do. I went with a list I threw together in two minutes and didn't have time to clip coupons. But I did manage to stick to things that were at a decent sale price. Three years ago, I would have thought I did well. But when you are used to seeing your total $40 or less, $60 about makes your grab your heart. Here's what I ended up with:
Local Grocery & Drug Store
10 Spices
3 lbs of hamburger
2 Packs of Bacon
2 Packs of Farmland Hot Dogs
1 Pkg of TP
2 Ramen noodles
2 lbs of grapes
3 lb bag of apples
2 lbs of bananas
1 lb of tomatoes
1 bag of rice
1 container of salsa
1 bag of Pretzel crisps
1 jar of La Choy soy sauce
1 container of La Choy chow mein
1 container of La Choy noodles
10 containers of yogurt
2 container of sour cream
2 bags of No Yolks noodles
2 cans of kidney beans
2 cans of black beans
1 bottle of parmesan cheese
1 can of spaghetti sauce
Total: $60.42. Used only 2-$.50 coupons.
The great thing is, I think my stockpile is good enough to just need basics for most of April.
Jaycie...I completely relate to you on this...I have been on a little bit of burn out using coupons and overwhelmed with organizing my purchases also! It's good to know I am not the only one :)
