$50/week Shopping

This wasn't a huge trip.  There were only a few things that I needed and I ended up getting some things that we could use or add to items I already have at home.  

Here was my list of things I needed to get for the week:

eggs

milk

cheese slices

bread

chicken noodle soup

cream of mushroom soup

tomato soup cereal

As always, I went through the ads at Kroger, Martin's and Meijer.  Here are the items that were on my list of things I wouldn't mind getting:

Joes

pasta sauce - .69 (3)*

tomato paste - .10 (3)*

waffels - .89 (4)

canned tomatoes - .25 already had 6 cans in the pantry

tomato juice - .99 (1)*

ketchup - .69 (1)* - I would have gotten more, but we already had two in the pantry.  

*Buy 10, get $3.00 off (the price shown is what I got it for).  

I know my number don't add up, but I picked up 2 things for my sister which brought my total to 10 items.  

My total at Joe's came to $7.61.

Kroger

hamburger/tuna helper - 10/10 (2)  I ended up getting a couple of these because they didn't have the cheese slices

cream cheese - 10/10 (2)

tortilla chips - 10/10 (2)

marshmallows - 10/10 (1)     These were cheaper at Aldi.

cheese slices - 10/10   (2)      I had to get a rain check because they were out. 

muffin mix - 10/10                Not a necessity.

pizza rolls - 10/10                 Cheaper for a larger bag at Meijer.

milk - 3/4 (about 2.67/gal) (4)

sour cream - 10/10 (1)

shampoo - .89 (2)                  Found another brand at Kroger for only .79!!

pasta roni - 10/10 (2)

biscuits - 10/10 (1)                Got this because I got the marshmallows at Aldi.

My total at Kroger came to $16.16.  

Aldi - Aldi is usually my first stop.  I usually don't have a list when I go to Aldi.  I am looking for anything on my list that is not on sale somewhere else and to see if the items at Aldi are at a better price than they are on sale at other stores.  

This week I was able to get bread for .40!!  I got 4 loaves and put 3 in the freezer.  

I also bought a bag of frozen chicken.  

My total at Aldi was $19.59.

Meijer - Didn't end up getting to Meijer.  :(

Chicken Stripes - $3.50 for 32 oz

Pizza Rolls - $1.99/40 ct.  

Martin's

Nothing from Martin's this week.  

My total for all three stores came to $43.36.  I used the last $6 to get some fresh fruits and veggies.
