How I Plan My Grocery Trips

First off I went through this weeks circulars and highlighted the deals that stood out the most. This week Super 1 Foods & Albertson's caught my eye. So here is my list for those stores & guess - timated totals:

NOTE: CHX = Chicken CHZ = Cheese
 

SUPER 1 FOODS

4 John Morrel Smoked sausage - $4

CHX - $7

Ketchup - $1

Cheerios - $3

Buns  - $1

TOTAL - $16 + tax

ALBERTSON’S

2 Taco Bell Dinner Kits - $2

Eggs - $1

TP - $2

Cereal - $6

CHZ $4

Bananas (Free w/q)

$15 + tax

So then I looked at the items on sale and what I have in my pantry still and formed my menu for two weeks:

Chicken

-Tacos

-Afredo Pizza

-Alfredo

-Baked & Au Gratin Potatoes

-CHX & Dumplings

-CHX & Rice

Beef

-Sloppy Joes

-Spaghetti

-Shepard's Pie

-Tacos

Other

-Smoked Sausage & Au Gratin Potatoes

-Dirty Rice

-BBQ Smoked Sausage & Grilled Potatoes

-Jambalaya

Now I have a few odds and ends I need to pick up from Wal-Mart and here they are:

Onions

Milk

Spanish Rice x2

Broccoli & CHZ Rice

CHX Ramen

Bread

Spinach

Light Dressing

$20

This makes my total about $51 + tax. Not to mention I try to round up a little. Also I have some coupons figured into these prices. Hope this helps :)
