Once again my
grocery spending was rather minimal. I
didn't need much for my daily meals and I even did a bit of a food challenge
this month to make sure nothing went to waste prior to making a holiday
feast. I already had most of the items I
needed on hand for the Thanksgiving Day meal too so there were no big shopping
hauls this time around.

| My first shopping trip at Fred Meyer including markdown peppers & FREE Kraft salad dressing |
One thing I was
hoping for was to get potatoes on sale and luckily Albertson's did have a good
buy on those. For some reason, even
though I live in Idaho, potatoes have been really high in price lately. I picked up two 5# bags of spuds for 98¢ each. I also was able to get two 1# packages of
butter with a digital coupon making them only $2 each and two bottles of Kraft salad
dressing for FREE with digital coupons.
I put the butter in the chest freezer and added the salad dressing to my
long term food storage.

| My second shopping trip this month also from Fred Meyer Free salad dressing and two extra bottles of cream for my coffee |
Most of my purchases
this month consisted of fresh produce, sour cream, cream for my coffee, whipped
topping for pie and mugs of hot cocoa as well as a couple cans of pumpkin for
pie and other baked goods. I was hoping
for a really good sale on canned pumpkin so I could stock up, but no such luck.
Once again I had
no non food purchases to make so no money spent on any of that kind of
stuff. My total grocery spending for the
month of November came in at a whopping $44.69.
I have a new list started already for what I want to get in December and
unless there are some really good
sales or loss leaders I doubt I'll be doing much shopping next month either. Thankfully, I am very well stocked for the
next two holidays.

How did you do
this month? What were your best buys?
You did great! I'm always amazed at the deals you get.
ReplyDeleteIn the small town where I live, there is one small but very nice grocery store. FYI: milk is over $5 a gallon and eggs are around $6 for a dozen, BUT, we are thankful for this store. It keeps a 60-mile one-way trip to maybe once a month.
With the price of gas right now that milk and egg price is worth it.
DeleteI miss Kroger. They left NC a few years ago and they really had great prices.
