Today, despite how I felt, we shopped in three grocery stores. I felt so awful, I made him come with me. I am still fuzzy-headed, in much pain, and one kidney hurts, the one I fell on. Or, maybe it is the uti. This is groceries bought this week. The store was packed like it was the day before Thanksgiving. People were after the same BOGOs I was.
Short and sweet...
Publix
two packages of 2 deep dish Pillsbury pie crusts bogo ... $4.59 for four crusts
2 red delicious apples $2.98, so large I will only eat 1/2 each day
2 Nestles semi-sweet morsels bogo, so $4.19 for both packages
Mandarins $4.99 maybe 3 lbs
4 one-lb packages Land O Lakes butter bogo, so $14, $3.50 each lb. These were packaged in half stick.
Carrots Organic 1 lb. $2.49, not a good price, but better than anything else.
Gold Potatoes, $6.99, not a great price, either.
Yellow onions $2.99
Lakewood Cranberry juice--only cranberry, one quart and $10.99, for uti that I have antibiotic to cure.
Savings--$36.41
Total $79.64
Piggly Wiggly
Free item--McCormick Brown Gravy mix
2 Miracle Whip $10.80, $5.40 each
Broccoli Crown $1.93, but advertised for $.99. I will have to look into this.
Turkey-sized Reynold's cooking bags
Lewis Brown and Serve Rolls. $2.03. I wanted the cheap ones like I had at home. I waited too late last year.
60 or Better We had a minus $1.18 x 3. Not sure how that worked. So -$3.54
Total $26.97
Food Giant
BSCB $1.89/lb, so got $12.92
Coleslaw $1.99
Total $15.43
Total Spent Today $122.04
WRONG
I bought at Publix Campbell's cream of chicken and cream of mushroom, no sodium, BOGO. So, it was $.99 cents/can. Then, bag of cornmeal, and one other thing on sale. That was another $7, I think.
So Corrected Total would be around $130.
This is regular spending with Thanksgiving bargains thrown in. Some of it may not be eaten until Christmas or next year.
I am too sick to go over this post. So, here it is.
We keep chocolate chips for a snack. It beats more costly and more fattening snacks. It might take us a year to eat the two cheap bags I bought today. I keep them in a short, amber, pink jar with a drinking lid. We just open it and shake the chips out.
Of course, I will cook the chicken to freeze. I think we will have a chicken/brown rice/broccoli casserole. We will both have the chicken/brown rice and broccoli. Tommy loves that. I will make two small casseroles so I can put cheese and pimiento in mine. Each of the tiny casseroles will have one chicken breast and will make at least two meals.
I wanted to make pumpkin pie without the pie crust. But, Tommy really wants a pie crust. So, he gets crust which I will eat, too.
EGGS--I forgot them.
Feverish and shaking here. Can barely walk. Tomorrow, maybe I can relate the fall from a height and uti and maybe cardiologist visit.
We are under a burn ban, and the weird neighbors with barking dogs had a huge fire in the carport. They also have pile of junk all over the carport. I did call police. I have no idea of the outcome of that visit. The bit of rain, measured in 100 hundredths of an inch, did nothing to assuage the danger.
Are you finding good deals for Thanksgiving? We will only buy turkey breasts. So, I am ignoring turkey deals...maybe...lol.
