This week

Well this week I've only shopped Albertson's.  Remember that Monday was my $40 haul for over $300 in product.  SUCH a great day.

Then on Wednesday-- we planned an antipasta night-- so we had to make a trip for some specialty items.  Yes-- the crackers, mozzarella, and meats.

The meats we got at Trader Joes sooo much cheaper than Safeway, and Whole Foods--and it was downright delicious!   Spent $150 at Joes-- but justify it with the fact that if I'd gone to my favorite-- Whole Foods-- I'd have spent at least double.  So-- staying away from the spendy stores is helpful on the budget as well.  =0)

Then we stopped at Albies.  I spent $121 (with coupons and sales) and got $297 of groceries.  I felt really great about this, since it was a LOT of stuff that usually doesn't have coupons. 

The mozzarella-- fresh in liquid-- cuz really isn't that the ONLY kind to get for a good antipasta salad?    Was $4.69 per container.   Ouch right?  HOWEVER, it was the dairy manager's special of the week and had a $3 off coupon on top!  SO... we scored TWO for less than the price of ONE. 
AND we had fabulous cheese. 

Crackers-- better cheddar, wheat thins, triscuits, etc were on sale and we had coupons.   About $1 per box. 

Bought five powdered sugar.  Because I make so many cakes (for sale for other people-- not us.)  LOL.   and 4 C buttercream frosting takes a whole package.  For less than a $1 each-- this will greatly reduce the overhead on my cakes, and allow me to charge less for them!  YAY.  (Well until the sugar is gone.  LOL) 

Today I am headed to Safeway to get the daily sale.    I believe today's sale is the Lobster Tails for $4.99 per pound.  (They weigh about 1# each.)  So-- tomorrow is egg dying, Harry Potter watching, Seafood Night at the Hansen's!) 
Going to grab some of their fabulous shrimp that is on sale for $6.99 per pound as well... and some cocktail shrimp too! 

Need to check the Albies fish sale-- as it's Friday and they have buy three get one free on Friday's.  So-- we shall see what we end up with. 

Hoping they have Dover Sole on sale!  LOVE that. 

Alex will have chicken.  LOL.

Have a blessed Good Friday all.
