*Disclaimer: Another catch-up post from over on Tumblr, getting it migrated to the blog now that we are back up and running*
Made a big grocery run this past Friday (July 26). Tim had gotten the grill put together and wanted to try out his new searing burner on a steak. So I pushed up my normal grocery shopping till Friday afternoon, so I could get him a ribeye and me a large salmon filet from the seafood department.
Also in this trip, along with some prices:
* Cherries! On sale this week for 1.99 a pound. I only splurge a few times a year, this is my second batch of cherries. (Pictured, from my Instagram feed)
* Found a gallon of milk marked down on manager’s special for 2.00. Bought it instead of the regular 3.69 a gallon price. Got my beloved store brand juice (Kroger lite) for 2.89
* Bought yet another one of these:
Had an e-coupon loaded on my Kroger card for 55 cents off. Normally, I buy the light mocha one, but they were completely out of the light one. Ugh. More calories, which is why I have gained all the weight back that I lost earlier in the year.
* Bought some fresh veggies – asparagus to grill Friday night, some spinach (going to TRY and be good and eat some spinach salads), onions, sweet potatoes, broccoli, green onions, and fruit (cherries and grapes)
* Bought my first container of tofu. Got the organic store brand in firm. No idea what I’m going to do with it, but I want to try. Had some recipes pinned or ideas saved, I think, now I have to go find them and get motivated to try them. Will have to work that into the menu when there’s leftovers for Tim, as I doubt he’ll touch a stir fry or soup with tofu in it 🙂
* Got two items for free, Colgate toothpaste and Orville popcrunch, as part of Kroger’s Free Friday Download. Had downloaded a coupon to my shopper card to get them free. I love free 😀
Gas is going up around here, I think it’s around 3.39 at my Kroger. We’ll get some off that, since we use the Kroger card to earn fuel points. I think I have 40 or 50 cents built up on the card, which will help a lot when it comes to filling up the gas-guzzling vehicles we own!
