2015 Groceries Week 21 - $149.10

I popped into QFC Monday night to pick up organic milk.  I also picked up oranges per a kid request and organic carrots because we were running out.  I found sour cream and karo syrup on clearance and spent $14.10 altogether.


I went to the new County Market Tuesday to use a $10/$50 coupon.  Unfortunately I didn't get my math right on and my pre-tax total was $52.88.  I should have left out the $2.00 Ritz and been way closer to hitting the $50 exactly.  It doesn't make a huge difference: Basically my $10 off yielded 19% savings instead of a 20% savings.  I spent $32.36 on food.  Here's the rundown:
Ritz - $1.99 sale ($0.38 19%) = $1.61
Turkey Franks - $1.00 sale ($0.19 19%) = $0.81
Chicken Breast - $1.99/lb sale ($0.38 19%) = $1.61/lb!
Organic Cucumber - $0.99 sale ($0.19) = $0.80 each
Oranges $3.99 for 4# ($0.76 19%) = $3.23 or $0.81/pound
Mangoes $0.88 each ($0.16 19%) = $0.72 each
Corn 6/$1 ($0.19 19%) = $0.81 or $0.14 each
Bananas $0.59/lb ($0.11 19%) = $0.48/lb
Eggs $0.79 sale ($0.15 19%) = $0.64/dozen

Fred Meyer was on the agenda Saturday morning.  I got lots of great deals including the Nabisco crackers for $1.17 each after store and manufacturer's coupons, cereal for $1.50/box after coupons, Coffeemate for $1.75 after coupons and 3# chubs of 10/90 ground turkey for just $3.99 each.  Other items: organic ketchup, organic celery, potatoes, and onions.  I spent $31.61.

Finally, I hit the jackpot at QFC.  I stopped for a gallon of milk (not pictured) and spotted these cans of baby formula for just $4.99.  These generic brand formula canisters are usually $15, so $4.99 was a score!  I am planning ahead and assuming I again won't be able to breast feed #5, so I loaded up.  I also found a can of tomatoes for $0.49, canned pineapple for $0.79, and refried beans for  $0.49 on the clearance rack.  I spent $71.03.

I was doing pretty well for spending until I found that formula!  

Total for Week 21: $149.10
Total year-to-date 2015: $1,887.95
Weekly average 2015: $89.90
