We have been travelling and unfortunately posting our groceries didn't make the cut on the to-do list as I rushed around finishing many tasks. Sorry about that - it's catch up time.
Did I mention I dropped a full cup of coffee on my laptop keyboard? That was 2 weeks ago and while the data was salvaged I had to have a new hard drive installed. I also have to get a new keyboard installed and am not currently using that computer - *sniff* I have been using 2 other computers since then and one of them isn't here today so I am missing a photo.
I went to QFC on Monday because I saw they were having a General Mills cereal sale and I was hoping some Chex would be included. No luck, but I picked up 5 boxes of Cheerios for just $1.50 and 4 boxes of Barbara's Puffin cereals (GF) for $2.00 each. I also got clearance organic bananas, clearance sour cream and Cheetos. Total at QFC that visit $21.22.
I went to QFC again on Wednesday, but this time it was for Nabisco Crackers. I saw they had a GF option (finally!) and they were on sale. It was a buy 5/save $5 sale so I bought 4 regular boxes and the rice option for my GF kiddo to try for $1.49 each. I also found clearance GF pizza dough for $2.49 so I bought 2, and some dye-free candies for $2.29 each. I plan to give these to DD#2's Classical Conversations tutor. She likes to give out candy as a prize, but I'm hoping she'll use these. DD#2 just does better without dyes. Total for this visit: $17.01 See photo below.
I went to QFC later that night because I had a few minutes and it was a different location. The photo combines both Wednesday trips. I like to visit different Kroger stores for their clearance markdowns. No luck this trip, but I bought more of the Rice Thins Nabisco crackers since my GF kiddo gave them the thumbs up. I also picked up a dozen eggs to hard-boil for our trip. Eggs are a cheap and healthy snack, but I have to buy at the store for hard-boiling. The eggs from my friend are too fresh and don't peel well. #firstworldproblems, right? I spent just $9.12 on this visit to QFC.
Finally, I dashed off to Fred Meyer on Thursday to pick up the $2.00 Coffeemate that was on sale. We were nearly out and I just wanted some in reserve for when we got home from our trip. I really dislike coming home tired with a ton of laundry and unpacking to do . . . and then I have to run to the store because we're out of milk or creamer or something else essential. I spent $4.00.
Our milk was $12.87 (I saved a half gallon for our return)
No eggs since I was leaving town.
Week 37 Total: $64.22
Total 2014 year -to-date: $3,094.58
Weekly Average: $83.64
Love, Katie
