Sunday Update

January 25th, 2009 at 03:15 pm

Yesterday after work I stopped at the grocery store to pick up some fresh fruit/veggies. I think I got some pretty good deals on most items:

Baby carrots 2 lb. $2.00 each
Avocados (4) $0.68 each
Radishes 2 lb. $2.00 each
Pears $1.00/lb.
Apples $1.00/lb.
Cucumbers (2) $0.68 each
Pineapple (1) $2.84
Tomatoes $1.58/lb.


DD has been on a health kick lately. I never have bought much in the way of junk food (chips, ice cream, etc.) Maybe once every couple of months. I can easily do without that. Another thing I don't eat much of is meat. It seems most days I eat fruits/veggies, cheese, nuts, yogurt, etc. (especially for lunches & snacks) and I am satisfied with that. I also got some turkey burgers, ground beef, eggs, and a few other items. I spent $40 for groceries.

I also stopped at the car wash to remove the salt from my car. Spent $8 there.

I filled my car with gas where I commute to work on Saturdays since it is less expensive there--$1.73/gal. It is $1.85 where I live. So a savings there of $0.12/gal. Filled the tank for $16.25.

++++

I got another rebate check in the mail today from Zantac for $5, which will go towards savings.

Have a nice Sunday!

    I'm with you on the fresh fruit/veggie/cheese/nuts/yogurt preference. I prefer the whole carrots, usually about $.80/lb, but $1/lb is pretty good for the prepared ones. There is a BIG difference in apple costs - I was very happy getting a 5 lb bag of beautiful crisp Empires for $.80/lb. Upon seeing those I returned the few I had picked out loose at $1.29/lb. Apple costs can be ridiculous! I love the fall when the local orchards have very good ones very cheap - I usually stock up quite a bit at that time. And the occasional avocado is very good for salads. Nice shopping!
