Ok So I figured I should do a more realistic grocery shopping trip, last time I just did Really Really well and heyy I was proud of it! This week is pretty typical {However I got a stellar deal on paper towels… I’ll explain later}
On a side note… Big Big Big Side note. Today, when I was buying onions, I noticed the Vadlia onions were only $0.59/lb, where as my normal 2lb bag was like a $1.40….. quick bit of math, getting the better quality onion at the same poundage was cheaper… so of course I went with it. So just keep your eyes open when you’re there. No automatic pilot, because yeah I didn’t save a ton of money.. but its more bang for a cheaper buck!
Alright onto my list!
Meat:
– Frozen 93% Ground Beef {2.22 lbs}: $6.50
– Sirloin Steak Tip {1.2 lbs}: $5.94 {on sale for $4.99/lb}
– Apple Gate Chicken Apple Sausages {frozen… and amazing}: $4.99
– Lean Frozen Ground Pork {1.05 lbs}: $1.67 {$1.59/lb}
– Lean Frozen Ground Pork {1.11 lbs}: $1.76 {$1.59/lb}
– Lean Frozen Ground Pork {1.06 lbs}: $1.70 {$1.59/lb}
– Slab Bacon {1.5lbs}: $7.34 {$4.99/ lb}
Produce:
– 12oz Baby Mushrooms: $1.99
– Bag of Peeled Baby Carrots {for Us + Primal Puggle}: $1.49
– Plum Tomatoes {0.92lb}: $1.29

– Granny Smith Apples {I got 3 @ $0.99/lb}: 1.31
– 2 Sweet Potatoes: $1.57
– 2lbs Vadalia Onions: $1.19
Other:
– 2 Dozen Eggs: $2.98
– 2 Cans Diced Tomatoes: $2.00
– 1 Can Almonds: $2.99
– 8 Jumbo Pack of Bounty Paper Towels {this is where it gets good} – Normally $10.99, last week onsale for $6.99 They didn’t have any, so I got a rain check for the sale price. Then had a $5.00/1 pack coupon that I snagged on the bounty facebook page… making it only $1.99 {or $0.25/roll}.
Non Paleo Stuff {not for me}: $7.80
Total: $57.40
Then I ran to hannaford {right across the street from market basket} because they have avocados for only a $1.49 … where as Market Basket is $1.79.
So there I got:
-1 Cucumber: $0.89
– 2 avocados: $2.98
Total: $3.87
Today’s Grand Total: 61.27
Great Job Liz!! Excellent Hunting!! 😀
Hah Thanks Tim! It was one of my better hunter-gather-try not to kill someone in the grocery store moments
I hope you had a great Birthday!!!!!!
Good work with the coupon for the paper towels! I’ve been couponing for several years, and eating Paleo seriously for only a little over a month. Now that I’ve cut out the junk (and most of the coupons I used to use) I find myself buying less junk of course, but spending a bit more on food. I don’t mind, because I’ve lost ten pounds in just over this month I’ve been eating Paleo.
I’ve a question — do you post or calculate how much you save when you go shopping? I don’t know about others but I’m always interested in how much people save when they shop. Cheers!
Congratz on the 10 lbs!!!!!! That’s so amazing 🙂 I don’t generally post what I save every time I go shopping if it’s something major, I’ll post {Like the paper towels}. If there’s a good freebie or coupon out there, I tend to post that stuff straight to the facebook page! I try to do a break down of the recipes when I can as well!
Please comment on the facebook page or anywhere around here if you find a stellar deal! I love knowing to what people save 🙂
