I went grocery shopping, to get my blood work done. The clinic was closed, I dont kow why it's rather annoying (on the door it said the hours and they should of been open).
I spent $58 in groceries in total, this should last a few weeks or more. I bought 4 packs of Udon noodles (each pack has 4 packages in them), another pack of a different type of noodles, sauce as I;m almost out, 2 salad dressings as I was out, 2 packs of the boxes instant mashes potatoes, 2 small bags of sticky rice, a bag of sweet potato chips, a bag of veggie sticks (similar to chips), 6 packages of mushrooms, 2 packages of bea sprouts (50% off), 2 premade salad kits (50%), a pack of freezies (50% off), a pumpkin chocolate chip loaf (30% off), a pack of raspberry turovers (30% off), raisen tart swuares package (30% off), a tiny container of raspberries, and a big bag of mixed veggies.

Wow! You did great. I wish we could find a place like that. I spent $63 on food today and only wanted to spend $50. I hope we will have enough for the month.

This was Zehrs it's a local grocery store. But they usually have a lot of clearance items to sell them instead of throwing them out. I was just going to ick up a few items but got all this. I remember in college going right before they closed and they would have even more clearace, whereas this store doesnt. I'm only feeding myself so it;s not bad, and I can judge on the food for example split it up to make it last a lot longer.

You got me wondering about something. I wonder what the system is for house cleaning and doing dishes. In our house I do all the dishes. Not just the ones I use. If I didn't, the dishes would pile up. My daughter vacuumes the carpet in the living room, foyer, and the hallway and her room. I vacuum my room and sweep and mop the kitchen. We kind of work together, but knowing your family isn't very cohesive it has me wondering.

Do you just shop for yourself? I only have myself and 6 animals. So this doesnt include their foods, and necessaities as I buy them a different time of the month. I barely eat a lot of meat so I'm lucky in that way. What do you buy? Do you buy packaged items? I have been shopping i the oriental / international aisles as they are so cheap.

It is great that you managed to do so well grocery shopping, and it is something that I am trying to do at the moment as well because we are trying to save money as a family right now. One of the things that I like doing is bulk buying things when they are on offer, because it means that we can save a fair amount than we would have been able to if we'd have bought them week by week. I also like to buy frozen vegetables these days rather than fresh ones, because they last a lot longer and it also means that they are a lot cheaper.

It is always really nice when we are able to find things at the grocery store for a large amount of money off. In fact, I have taken to doing most of my grocery shopping later in the day because of the fact that our grocery store does do their mark downs a little bit later in the day. My best finds have been that I've been able to find meat marked down by a large extent because it had a sell by date in just a couple of days.
There is nothing wrong with it and I'm able to freeze it so that I can save it for later.

That is great that you were able to buy enough food to last you a few weeks. I shop every week and end up spending about 50.00 a week. I shop for three people (Randy, my brother and I). I shop at a store called Winco which has some great prices. I do shop in Walmart occasionally, but lately their prices have not been great. Do you eat alone or does the family try to eat with you?
