Grocery Shopping $78.82

This week I shopped much less than normal.  I think the repeated trips to Fred Meyer last week stocked us up well.  In fact, when I was taking this first picture I thought, "Did I forget to take a picture?"  It was very strange to not take a photo until Saturday!

I stopped by Trader Joe's for vinegars.  I needed red wine vinegar ($1.99) for a recipe and I wanted apple cider vinegar ($2.49) to trap gross fruit flies.  I spent $4.48. 

I was at Fred Meyer next and spent  $30.44. 
Coffee - $5.89
Coffeemate - $2.00 for 2 & $2.50 for 1 ($1.25/3 MC) =  $1.75 each
Eggs - $1.25 each
Lemon Juice - $2.39 (need for canning)
Sour Cream - $1.25 each ($0.40/1 Store Coupon) = $1.05 each

Then I went to QFC today to get cereal and Doritos.  I spent $32.74.
