Grocery Hauls and Pantry Snooping

Yes! It uses so much less paper! I’m happy they do that since receipt paper can’t be recycled.

I’m so glad you said this - this is one thing my kids are sick of hearing me talk about :rofl:

Not a haul, but I was at Costco with my mother and saw a few items I had purchased a few weeks ago were now on sale. Went to customer service and got $10 back. They looked it up and reprinted my receipt.

I did that earlier this year when I bought a laptop and literally the next weekend went in and it was $200 off. They were so nice about it and said people do it all the time!

Today’s veggie box. $25. We are sort of overstocked but next week they are closed for Thanksgiving, so I decided I’d stuff it all somewhere.

I’ll order grocery pickup whenever we run out of wine.

What are in the two clamshells?

One is baby arugula sprouts and the other is dried beans.

I need to make something with spinach this weekend since I still have half of last week’s bag. Maybe quiche?

cough uh, is “cnt” = count, or container? I’m curious why they didn’t use “ea” = each.

Count. No idea why they don’t use “each.”

Sprouts this week + our local meat place

I think I see “ct” more commonly for “count” anyway… I think someone over there wanted to push a boundary lol

What $80 at the international/discount/veg store gets ya! I was on foot so only got specialty and dire need items (see: cream for coffee!)

That lox, green onions, and cucumbers will keep me happy with hommeade sushi for dayyysss. Husband may not be equally enthused, but he has his ramen.

Last trip before Thanksgiving at Aldi - $145.51. I think I actually did OK this time! Eating keto has really cut down on the processed food. I’m also still trying to make my way through the freezer a little more as well. I have enough meat to last a while - hopefully next week I can just do a veggie top up.

Also, my husband has an egg allergy and many breads are cross-contaminated. But these hamburger rolls from Aldi aren’t and are very cheap! That’s why the tons of hamburger rolls every week.

Weds morning shopping was not too bad! People/traffic wise. Money wise…not as bad as early pandemic, but generous. Part of it is definitely not bargain-shopping across stores. If potatoes aren’t on sale…well I want potatoes so I’m getting them anyway… ETA oh yeah and I got a bunch of booze :sweat_smile: mostly rosé becaise we keep running out :woman_shrugging:

Sprouts:

Trader Joe’s:

Refilled fruit bowl and drying veg:

Not happy. One of the apples and the kiwi were smashed. The green beans were slimy and a couple crushed. At least the bok choy, asparagus, etc were fine. But still. OH and they didn’t have our eggs and wanted to sub super shitty store brand ones. Again.

Ughhhhhhh. No exposure is hard if you want to eat decent food :confounded:

This month’s haul for the first two weeks. I will probably do a Walmart order to supplement in the second week. Was a little high because of keto snacks, Christmas wrap, and baby diapers. I’ve heard that the Aldi brand is good so wanted to try them out.

Trader Joe’s trip! (Can you tell what my husband obsessively snacks on throughout the day? It’s one piece of dark chocolate plus one mint)

I needed curry leaves but decided to just do all my veggie shopping here too. I also decided I needed sweets and yummy drinks that I can’t get at the co-op.

I should have done this on the table (but that spot on the floor is the brightest light wise)

I had a lot of help from some nosy looky loos :dog2::dog2::cat2:

ETA I just realized looking at the receipt there’s a bottle of sesame oil missing from the pic (i’d already opened it…and also drank the mango drink mmmm)

I keep skipping posting Costco trips because it just seems like so much work to lay out the food etc. :grimacing:

This is a small trip to fill some gaps.
