Grocery Trip Today: WalMart and Dierbergs


WalMart:
Bananas (.62 per lb.)- 1.28
Cheddar Cheese Ramen cup- .28
Charmin Plus (Hubby's special request tp.) 6.36
Smart Deli Vegetarian Roast "Turkey" Slices- 2.58
Total= 11.17

Dierbergs:
Huggies Overnight diapers- 10.99 minus $1.50 coupon
8 cups of Dannon yogurt (special sale plus starter for yogurt batch)- 3.50
Bulk Organic Pistachios (as per Big Girls request)- 1.76
Store Brand Canned Veggies- 7 cans at .33 apiece- 2.31
Stacy's Pita Chips on the markdown shelf- .99 apiece
McCormick Root beer Flavoring- 3.79
Strawberries- 3.99
Blackberries- free with Strawberries purchase
Total= 28.32

Total for all of this was: 39.49

Left in budget: 20.51
I still have to stop by Aldi or Save-A-Lot for staples and do some cherry picking at Shop N Save.

That's not including the special trip to Costco in a few days for pet food and litter. Sometimes shopping within the confines of this new budget can get really depressing. I so much wanted to fill the cart with special flours so I can expand my bread making repertoire. But, at $4 and up per bag I just couldn't do it this week. At least we're all set for canned corn for a while.

hmmm - about the root beer flavoring, are you going to make root beer or?

Rhonda,
Yes, I'm planning on making root beer sometime for a pizza family night. We have a few bottles of fizzy water in the cabinet to use up and this seemed like a good idea. I've never had homemade root beer before.
Hope we like it.
