Weekly Shopping Trip 2/7/09

My shopping trips for this week were successfully frugal. Unfortunately we had a couple additional trips that weren't really planned: one to the Asian food market next door to the V-day & B-day Japanese restaurant outing and one to Costco to pick up yeast, coffee and a pineapple. So those trips really should come out of the regular grocery budget and totaled almost $24!! But who can resist an excellent deal on curry and sesame oil and the husband who isn't ready to give up good coffee!?:)

Here is my trip to Fred Meyer and Safeway:

Although my receipt has run off, my total was just above $25 for the following:

Fred Meyer:
7 oranges ($0.38/lb!)
1 yellow onion
1 reduced salad $0.99
1 bag mixed veg
1 bag peas
2 4-packs cottonelle tp (used $0.50/2 coupon)
large bunch bananas
Coffee Mate Creamer (reduced to $0.50)
2 containers sour cream (used $0.40 coupon on each)
tomatoes (canned)
turkey hot dogs
Ocean Spray Cranberry juice $1.67 - $1/1 coupon

Safeway (total about $6):
Kraft Cheese (X2) $1.99 -$0.75/1 coupon on each)
2 Poptarts $1 - $1/2 coupon

Unfortunately I just noticed only one of my $1.50 creamer coupons scanned! My total should have been $2.00! We'll see if I can get the money back, but either way it was a good run:)
