Weekly Shopping - A Whopping $209.42!

Wowie, it was a big week.  I had a little post-pantry challenge splurge, I guess.

I went to QFC on Monday.  I had seen some things in the ad I wanted to pick up but somehow missed those things were only a weekend sale.  I get pretty irritated at myself when something like that happens.  It's hard enough to get to the store without having my anticipated prices screwed up.  At least I found some other good deals for $18.46.

Soy sauce - $1.59 on clearance
Sparkling cranberry juice - $1.49 on clearance (I love these for post-baby meal deliveries!)
Crackers - $2.00 each on sale ($1.50/2 MC) = $1.25 each box
Quorn 'meat' dinner - $2.25 on clearance ($1.00 MC) = $1.25
Powdered sugar - $2.00
Flour - $2.29
Lunchables double packs - $1.19 on clearance
Foster Farms lunch meat - $1.49
Mandarins 6 packs - $.99 clearance

Then I had a huge trip to Fred Meyer spending $52.79 but I had my Rewards certificate that took $9.43 off the total.  My cash outlay was $43.36.  I took a picture and managed to delete it so this is a picture I took the next day after we'd already used some things.

I forgot to buy olives on that big shopping trip so I went back to Fred Meyer and spent $32.68 because I found markdown ground beef and my kids' favorite kind of Annie's that was out at the other store.

Milk - $1.00
Colby Cheese - $4.99

I picked up another can of olives for $1.19 and paid for 40 pounds of chicken this week for $71.60.

$18.46 + $30.97 + $43.36 + $32.68 + $1.19 + $71.60 = $198.26

I also had our weekly milk delivery for $11.16.

This week's grand total was $209.42.
Annual total is $816.50.
