2015 Groceries Week 2 - $88.24

Another week has flown by - here's the grocery shopping that happened this week. 

I went to Fred Meyer Monday night and found a couple things.  The bell peppers were on clearance – each bag of 3 was just $0.99.  I also got a few organic apples and some sour cream to complement the fajitas I figured I’d make with the bell peppers.  I spent $5.05.

 

 

Then I looked for basil at Fred Meyer.  No luck.  Then I went to Trader Joe’s.  Again, there was no basil so I ended up just buying a fresh basil plant for $3.49.  I also picked up some organic oranges since DD#4 has been loving them.  I spent $12.82. 

 Wednesday I went to Safeway for tomatoes I needed for a chili recipe.  I also picked up a few bananas, and some GF pasta.  I spent $16.58.

Friday I went to Albertsons to pick up tortillas for the fajitas I STILL hadn’t made.   I also picked up canned beans since I hadn’t managed to soak & cook dry beans for the chili I needed that evening.  There were also some pork chops on clearance.  Altogether it was almost 4 pounds for about $5.50 which works out to about $1.40/lb.  I also bought some shredded cheese.  I spent $19.19. 

And I thought I was done for the week, but realized I needed a couple ingredients for Caprese salad for my book club tonight.  So I headed to Whole Foods where I was sure I could get fresh basil this time of year and really delicious tomatoes, but wouldn’t you know it: No Basil.  I bought a few things though and did some price comparison.  I needed organic green apples for the detox starting tomorrow and paid a whopping $2.69/lb.  I spent $17.37 at Whole Foods.  EEP!
