<br />
We were camping most of the week, but I was assigned to the big group dinner on Wednesday. I brought DD4 back to town for an appointment Tuesday and stopped at the grocery store for what I needed. <br />
<br />
I spent $54.63 at Haggen on 10 pounds of ground beef, 2 containers of guacamole, and 3 bags of Daiya cheese since it was on sale for $3.99. <br />
<br />
We got home Friday and I headed out shopping since we were pretty darn close to out of food after camping all week and the cousins the week before. <br />
<br />
Costco was up first. No photo, but I bought a ton of microwavable meals since we were in the middle of a heatwave in Seattle. With no AC our house is over 80 by dinnertime & there was no way I was cooking. I bought organic lemonade (DH is big on citrus lately. He never, ever wants a kidney stone again), a case of coconut milk, 10# carrots, a watermelon, turkey lunchmeat, pork tamales, a bag of pears, bananas, beef taquitos, & 2 bags of organic tortilla chips. I spent $95.59.<br />
<br />
Then I headed over to Fred Meyer - again, no photo.

<br />
I popped into QFC again Wednesday beause I had a $10 off $40 coupon & I needed coffee creamer. I bought the kids some chocolate milk and I got orange juice for a recipe. I found mango peach salsa on clearance - yum!, as well as organic sour cream for $1.49 each, and clearance organic Honeycrisp apples that were $0.99 for 3 in a bag! I also picked up organic stew beef that was on clearance for $7.99/lb. Crazy that meat costs so much, but I just try to make it stretch by cutting into smaller, bite-size pieces and adding more veggies to the stew. My total was $53.41 before the $10 off, so I spent $43.41.<br />

I know I go to QFC a lot. My closest 2 grocery stores mainstream are both QFC! I was happy to find more organic cereal on clearance for $1.49/box and $1.69/box. Tillamook was $5.99 for 2# block so I picked up some Jack along with Daiya for DD2. I got more half & half, a sack of 5# potatoes & corn dogs for easy lunches. Bananas rounded out the shopping & I spent $30.74 on Friday.<br />

I couldn't find the photo for this last shopping trip on Sunday night - also to QFC to use another $10/$40 purchase coupon. I bought 2 gallons of organic milk, a case of organic lemonade for $1.00 each, creamer for DH, another brick of Tillamook cheese for $5.99, bananas, a ball of fresh mozzarella on clearance for $1.99, and (to push me over the $40 mark) I let the kiddo with me choose 3 bags of chips that were 3/$5. I spent $42.08 before the coupon so it ended up $32.08.<br />

She's learning about the gf/df diet and I didn't want her to have to feed my big family so I picked up a lot of the groceries.<br />
<br />
First we went to Natural Grocers, a health food store on Monday. I bought some granola bars for DD2 to have snacks at VBS and for the airplane ride home. I also got some cookies for dessert/snacktime during the week. I spent $10.53.<br />
<br />
On Monday we also shopped at the local Kroger store which is called City Market. I bought loads of stuff including coffee creamers, 4 boxes of cereal, milk, organic tortilla chips, organic salsa, marshmallows, dark chocolate, 4 bags of clearance produce including mangos, nectarines, & apples, a brick of cheddar cheese, graham crackers, Hershey bars, and a frozen pizza. I spent $45.28<br />
<br />
We went to Target for curtains and I picked up regular granola bars for the other kids. It was a huge box of 24 for $5.54. Sales tax in Colorado includes food so all the prices are a tiny bit higher.<br />
<br />
Wednesday was Whole Foods for dairy free sour cream and I bought some Caprese salad at the deli because I was starving. I spent $8.97.<br />

Mom finished up her visit, we had a couple of days of packing & Lularoe, and then we were in Colorado at the end of the week. I was trying to use up what we had on hand before leaving town at the start of the week. I didn't take any grocery photos.<br />
<br />
Tuesday I found myself with a few extra minutes so I dashed in to Costco for a couple of lasagnas I had committed to bring to a church event. While there I got some organic juice boxes, shredded cheddar, organic fruit snacks, cheese pizza, organic chicken thighs, and organic something else I can't identify from the receipt that was on sale for $6.59. I spent $87.77<br />
<br />
Thursday I picked up a gallon of milk for $2.99. It was on clearance and I figured we'd use it before we left. <br />
<br />
Friday we dropped those lasagnas at church on the way to the airport.<br />
<br />
Saturday my sister-in-law and I shopped in Colorado. I bought organic milk, daiya pizza, daiya brick cheese, clearance romaine hearts, two loaves of garlic bread, coconut milk, and a loaf of gluten free sandwich bread. I spent $34.62.<br />
