Grocery Day Update

Since I didn't get to post my grocery spending last week and I'm postponing my shower until after the Bulls game, I have a few minutes to give you the rundown.  I was under budget this week, yay!  It was a much more typical shopping experience this week with no coupons at 3 stores (also why I wanted to post).

Dominicks:
~3 lbs. chicken drumsticks $0.99/lb = $4.02
~3 lbs. organic fuji apples $1.79/lb = $4.94
1 12oz. package wontons $3.29
brownie mix $0.99
Total:  $13.54

Fresh Farms:
1 bunch green onions $0.33
~2 lbs. ground round beef $6.04
~1-2 lbs. mild italian sausage $2.29
2 dozen extra lg eggs $0.89 each = $1.78
Total:  $10.67

Aldi:
~2.5 lbs bananas $0.38/lb = $1.00
1 package corn tortillas $0.35
1 pack hamburger buns $0.99
1 lb. strawberries $0.99
3 pints blackberries $0.79 each = $2.37*
1 apple juice concentrate $0.92
1 bag potato chips $1.49
1 bag romaine hearts $1.79
1 package applesauce cups $1.29
4 lb. bag navel oranges $3.49
1 package chicken breasts $4.02
Total:  $19.12

Grand Total:  $43.33 (+$4.75 carryover from last week) = $48.08; $1.92 extra for next week

*Just as a side note, Aldi's blackberries were delicious!  As are their navel oranges - part of why I buy them all the time.  But since I'm not usually a huge fan of blackberries (usually too sour), this was quite remarkable.  Yay Aldi!
