Today after taking Hubby to a doctor’s appointment, I made a grocery list of our absolutely needed items.
On the way to Walmart, I stopped at the Town building and paid our property taxes in full.
At Walmart, I picked up a 5 lb. bag of whole carrots for $3.98. I also purchased a half gallon of Half and Half for $5.64, a package of American cheese for $ 2.48, and a 32 oz. package of frozen Atlantic Salmon portions on clearance for $ 11.50 marked down from $ 17.42. They must have ordered too much salmon for the holidays because the expiration date is July of 2025. If I had more freezer space, I would have purchased a lot. But alas I don’t.
I stumbled upon the clearance salmon. I hadn’t intended on buying that but I have only bought salmon once a few weeks ago on sale in about two years. I love salmon and Hubby has 4 whole haddock so we are now good on fish.
For a couple of years, the price for salmon was priced higher than I wanted to pay. So this was a good deal. I scanned the store and found nothing else that I could use at a reduced price.
I had no carrots left. They will get used in soups, stews, and for snacking with homemade dill dip.
The Half and Half was dated in March so it will keep even though I have two others in my fridge. We will use it all up by the expiration dates.
The cheese was badly needed for grilled cheese sandwiches which we love.
The total I spent today was $ 23.60. I purchased a 60 count carton of large eggs on Wednesday at Walmart while I was running other errands. I paid $19.26. Today when I was in the store, the price had gone up to $21.97. There seems to be no end to higher prices on eggs. When the cullings stop, the prices should come way down. Since humans can not get bird flu from properly cooked eggs, it makes no sense to me that they are culling so many. Can any of you explain why? I am thinking they are trying to stop it from spreading to other chickens but I really don’t know.
So I have spent a total of $ 42.86 on groceries so far this month.
We had the rest of the apple fritters for brunch. For dinner, we had an 8 count spicy fried chicken, biscuits, and coleslaw from Popeye’s on a meal deal. It was on my route home. I paid with money we got as a Christmas gift. This chicken deal will last us at least 2 more meals.
The good news today is that Hubby did not have any change in his prescription glasses. That is a huge savings because we do not have insurance.
Did you get any good deals today?
