My total this week was about $30. Butter was $2.99 at Sav A Lot. It's a brand I have never heard of, but it is mine now. I will check other stores to see if it is carried anywhere else and what is the price. Okay, I checked and the butter is Coburn Farms, a Sav A Lot brand. And, there is a coupon that will make it $1.99!!!
Tuesday was the last day of the a2milk at $7 for two half-gallons. I bought two last week. Even though I have two unopened cartons from last week, these last two have a date of August 23, 2018. As I was trying to juggle things in the refrigerator to fit two more cartons in, I made a happy discovery. There were two milk cartons that each were about 1/3 full. When I combined those, both the same date, things were much less crowded! I don't think I have EVER before had two cartons of milk open and in use at the same time.
Immediately, I opened the jar of artichoke hearts at home. I ate two, gagging and spitting out the corn husk like portion. I will be taking these back. They were nasty.
The blueberries went straight into the freezer. I had just scraped the last of my last jar of Miracle Whip from the jar.
There is dehydrated bell pepper in a pint jar, but I bought a fresh one. The last time I put dehydrated bp in meatloaf, I remarked to exbf that the bell pepper had been dehydrated last year. He said and made sure I understand that he was not complaining, that the bell pepper was hard as a rock. He kept saying it was okay because he could taste it in the meatloaf. So, I have fresh bp for the meatloaf this time.
Two stores had great sales this week, Aldi and Save A Lot. Otherwise, I would not have bought so much fruit and mushrooms.
Do you have a Sav A Lot where you live? Have you ever used Coburn Farms Butter or any of their products?
Our Save A Lot is a really 'icky' store but I do go there occasionally to buy buttermilk. They sell a half gallon for less than $2 and that is as cheap as I have found. I wish they kept better care of the store! I have bought some Coburn products there- generic stuff does not bother me. I do need butter to. I put my last stick out to soften last night for a biscuit shortcake I'm baking this AM before church- I've been craving old fashioned strawberry shortcake. This calls for baking powder, butter, flour, sugar and milk- the kind Mom made when I was growing up.
ReplyDeleteMu Sav A Lot is very small and immaculate. Everything was orderly and nothing smelled. I am pleased with the condition.
DeleteI would not call Coburn generic. I would like that recipe if you would share. I had less than half a stick when I bought this pound.
We love eggs in our house, they are always top of my shopping list!
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Jan,
ReplyDeleteI love eggs and wish I had chickens again. I use mine scrambled, boiled or in something like meat loaf.
No Save a Lot in Vermont. We do have an Aldi store. I shop there for some things.
ReplyDeleteBarbara,
DeleteAt least you have a good place to shop. SAL has one electric cart. ONE
