In fairness,
$100: fish oil and Coq10 and zyrtec
$90: booze stock up (5 wines and local bourbon for Human/entertaining)
$75: Tissues, undies for both, umbrella, and wool socks to gift to non Costco family
Which leaves a more manageable $250 spent on food: dried mango, dried cherries, oat breakfast bars, fig bars, beef sticks, fruit/veg pouches, annual box of stroopwafel, izze (24 can), microwaveable quinoa and rice, chicken apple sausage, crunchy cauliflower snacks, fresh blackberries, prosciutto, canned fancy tomatoes, and sausage ravioli for dinner.
And these! I havenāt been sick like all of you but dry air has wreaked havoc on my sinuses, and these broth teabags are amazing. $16 for 4 boxes, so 33c per cup.
Had some good deals today: groceries (got a free giant chocolate bar because the cashier forgot to offer me the Deal of the Week), and then the produce haul was a $5 Flashfood deal. I have never used it before so it was interesting to see what I got. I see apple crisp and soup prep coming up. Anyways I was super excited about the deals. I was able to use price matching too - tide $6.96 CS over $10, Free and clear - .88 vs 1.19, baby carrots .99 vs 1.99.
Ordered what was labeled and pictured on the grocery delivery app as butternut squash and this showed up instead! Itās massive too. I guess Iāll try to roast it?
I wonder what it is? I hope itās edible. Some of the weird squash crosses arenāt apparently. But Iām assuming this is. Otherwise they wouldnāt have sent it???
Reporting back after roasting that this was sadly a disappointing mystery squash. More watery and less flavorful than butternut or kabocha, almost like spaghetti squash? Oh well. Going to try to make soup with it tonight anyway.
I will never, ever do another grocery haul that will top this. It was actually better than this, as I sold the larger turkey, $4.61, to a neighbor. She gave me $5, so I made a .39 profit!!!

Iād certainly use blended limes if that was the $ here! I didnāt know blended lemons was a thingā¦ Hereās a link. I intend to do this the next time I fork out $$$ for organic citrusā¦
End of the month grocery shopping. Bought ahead for December. I donāt trust the grocery stores to keep prices down over the holidays.
Today we spent $134.05CAD for seven bags of groceries, which is really good. There was only one mistake on the receipt, and it wasnāt worth going back to correct. A lot of cheese and cheese products today - cream cheese, ricotta cheese, cottage cheese, block cheese (gouda, mozzarella, cheddar). No meat. Sunflower seeds and sliced almonds were $17.58 alone!!!
Iām watching my flour go down nervously. Flour is $20 for a $20 lb bag right now. There was some on sale for $11.99 this weekend, but it was all gone by the time we arrived today. Ideally Iād like another 20 lb bag in the house for backup over the holidays.
Resurrecting this thread a bit. Today I did the big Costco haul for the month and the regular grocery store. I was surprised at how cheap Costco was. I was mentally prepared for $300+ but the food items came to $262.01. The grocery today came to $64.46, but I didnāt pay for the items on the left (The pickup order gave me things I didnāt actually purchase)
I would share my sub-dollar limes if I could.
