Saturday Shopping - $54.67!

I shopped way more than I intended do. Darn! Now we just won't have gas money - gah!
I'm having a heck of a time sticking to $100 a week for my allowance.

Anyway, I spent $54.67 and this is what I got:


At Safeway:
5 boxes Kix - $1.99 each with store coupon($1/2 and $1.50/3 MC) = $1.49 ea.
2# brick of cheddar - $4.99
2# shredded cheddar - $4.99
16 ct. string cheese - $3.99 with store coupon ($.50 MC) = $3.49
bananas - $.69/lb
nectarines - $.99/lb
2# organic carrots - $1.00 each

At QFC:
Creamer - $2.50 sale price ($.50 MC) = $2.00
Yami Yogurt 6 pack - $1.69 clearance price
3 Turkey lunchmeat - $1.49 clearance price ($.75/2) = $1.25 each

At this point I should have just been done shopping, but I really wanted to get grapes and pears at Fred Meyer. That would have probably been OK, but then I had to just check out the clearance bins . . .

At Fred Meyer:
Pears - $.88/lb
Grapes - $.98/lb
Green Onion - $.44/bunch
Spinach - $.78/bunch
Yellow Onion - $.59/lb (Noticed the 3# bag of 'bargain onions' cost $2.29 - Hmmm)

Then the clearance items -
2 boxes of Rice Chex - $1.89 clearance price ($1.00/2 MC) = $1.39 each
FM brand Raisin Bran - $.99 clearance price
10# unbleached flour - $2.79 clearance price
Taco Shells - $.79 clearance price ($.50 MC) = $.29
2 loaves Vita-Bee bread - $.99 clearance price each
FM brand green beans - $.29 clearance price
FM brand cream of mushroom - $.49 clearance price
FM brand cream of chicken - $.29 clearance price

Finally I bought 5 bottles of formula for $.59 each after $5 coupons from a friend.

It just adds up!
