PUBLIX--Spent $10.38.
Grocery Saving Tip: Plan your weekly menu around super sale items.
These veggies were $1.00 a bag and you will see them in our menu this week in our Veggie Breakfast Scramble, Broccoli Salad with Cranberries and Pecans, Stir Fry with leftover pork and as a complement to a couple of our lunch meals.
We will use the bagels ($1.09 a bag) to make egg and cheese bagels, pizza bagels and bagels with Sundried Tomato Spread.
SAVE A LOT–Spent $ 50.18.
Grocery Saving Tip: Purchase staples at one low-cost store.
I saved over $10 by purchasing these items at Save A Lot rather than Walmart.
WALMART–Spent $48.28.
(The milk was actually purchased at Save A Lot, but made it into the photo by mistake).
Grocery Saving Tip: Buy meat at it’s lowest price and freeze it for later.
I used Walmart’s Ad Match Guarantee to purchase ground chuck for $1.99 a pound which is the lowest price for our area. [Read more here how I prepare and cook all that meat.]
Weekly Total: $108.84

I just wrote on my blog about purchasing staple items at their lowest price, sometimes at Aldi! It’s a good feeling to post the same thing as a “big blog.” I found a few great staples on sale at Kroger (cream of mushroom soup) here: http://theeconomicalhomemaker.com/kroger-trip-for-huggies-and-mega-event/
A good idea is just a good idea Tanya.
WISH WE HAD A PUBLIX…..10 ITEMS FOR $10.00 AND GOOD FRESH VEG’S…….GREAT JOB!!!!! HOW DO YOU PROLONG THE LIFE OF THEM BAGGED VEGGIES AND BROCCOLI SLAW? WHENEVER WE BUY BAGS OF LETTUCE I ALWAYS NOTICE A SMELL REAL FAST…
These vegetables will keep for a week or more in the bag in the refrigerator. I always make sure to choose the freshest packages when I shop. I think lettuce that is torn goes bad more quickly.
Wow, you did really well (especially at Publix). I’m impressed!
Thanks Claire!
Do you ever price-match at Wal-Mart? I tried it for the first time today.
Yes! I price matched the ground chuck this week.
The Publix is close my house, so I sometimes run in at the beginning of the sale and get the specials before I have my entire grocery list together. The staples at Save A Lot are not advertised so I have to actually go into the store to get the low prices. It’s worth it to me because it is fairly close by and I save a minimum of $10 a week purchasing the items there instead of Walmart.
Wow! Great shopping! Love those Eat Smart Veggies. Yum-O!
