6/23 Big John's $18.40

Um... so yeah... I don't really feel like I got a lot. But oh well... I work 5 days a week now... so by the time I get off work I really don't care... Not very frugal of me!!! :P BUT... It's not like I bought random junk. Everything I bought was with a meal in mind. So let's see what I can do with this!!!

Pork Roast $5.55
Potatoes $2.89
McCormick Slow Cookers Seasoning $1.79

Ok... This is all for one meal. I will also add baby carrots which I had on hand. This will feed my family Dinner, and leftovers for the next day or two. So that's $8.33 (I didn't include the entire price of that potatoes). So that's not really that bad when you break it down like that.

Garlic Bread $1.88
Ragu Alfredo $2.45 (YIKES) you can get this for like $1.39 at Kroger. But I wasn't at Kroger sooo... I paid that amount. lol :o)

That will be for a meal. I already have PLENTY of pasta on hand. Also the garlic bread will be split between a few different meals.

Tater Tot's $2.68

These will be for hamburgers and things like that.

Bread $0.98


So all in all I spent $18.40 on all of this. Now that I have broken everything down I feel like I did good for my money except the ragu!!! lol They are $1.39 at Kroger this week and there are $1.25/3 coupons in on of the inserts. So I plan to stock up on some alfredo!! :o)

My local grocery store starts a new ad on Mondays and I saw in the ad that these were 10/$10. What I didn't realize is they started their ad on Tuesday this week.. So needless to say I would have saved another $3.60 if I would have looked at the ad dates. Oh well... lesson learned!!!

Big John's Shopping 2/7 Local Grocery Store

WOW... So I spent $7.86 on all this. I'm not very happy with that price... Not one bit. I find it hard to spend almost $8 on 5 items when I spent less than $13 on 30 items at Kroger last week. But oh well. We needed... well we didn't NEED the chips. :o) But we were almost out of cheese and my local grocery store had it 3/$5. So I caved and went and grabbed some. Not my stock up price, BUT when you need it... you need it. And I like to eat these chips with my hot ham and cheese sandwiches!! :)

Always Save Cheese $0.79 (Want to try this brand out)
