Thanksgiving Shopping List

So, my husband did go to the store for the Thanksgiving shopping list. He only mixed up a couple items: He got one tiny can of pear halves in syrup instead of several big cans of pear halves in juice, he bought jellies made with high fructose corn syrup, and because it was the only can of the only pumpkin related item left in the store, he bought Libby's pumpkin pie mix instead of plain pumpkin. And technically he bought the wrong baking powder. I usually get Rumford in the red can, because it doesn't have aluminum in it. He got generic. But that's okay. He spent $57.03 and he didn't leave anything important behind...

He bought:
  • Wegman's Chocolate Soy Milk, $2.79 for a half gallon
  • Silk Unsweetened Soy Milk, $2.99
  • Wegmans Sour Cream, $1.19 minus 20 cents shopper's club discount
  • Two pounds of Wegmans butter, one unsalted and one salted, $1.49 each
  • Two bars of Wegmans cream cheese, $1.19 each minus 40 cents each for shopper's club bonus
  • Two packs of Pillsbury prepared pie crusts, $2.29 each
  • Half and half, $1.39
  • Wegmans large eggs, one dozen, $1.29
  • Frozen cut leaf spinach, 89 cents minus 10 cents for shopper's club discount
  • Taylor Sweet Potatoes, 2 cans at $1.79 each
  • Wegmans light brown sugar, $1.49 minus 50 cents shopper's club
  • Wegmans baking powder, $1.39
  • Wegmans strawberry jelly, $1.79
  • Pear halves in syrup, 15 ounce can, 99 cents
  • canned corn, 39 cents
  • Wegmans evaporated milk, 79 cents
  • Campbell's broccoli cheese soup, $1.25
  • Wegmans red raspberry jelly, $2.29
  • Wegmans creamed corn, 39 cents
  • Food You Can Feel Good About Shells and Cheddar dinner, 4 boxes at 79 cents each
  • Wegmans Woos Original (generic Oreos), $1.99
  • Nabisco Oreos, $2.99
  • Wegmans bagged salad, Italian Escarole Blend, $2.50
  • Wegmans bagged salad, French blend, $2.5o
  • Bananas, 82 cents
  • Pink Lady Apples, three apples, $2.75
  • Cauliflower, one head, $2.50
  • Broccoli crowns, three average-sized heads, $2.4o
And he also stopped at the bagel shop and got a dozen bagels for $8, plus we had a coupon to get six free, so with the normal baker's dozen, we ended up with 19 bagels. Yesterday when my friends came, we all had bagels with brie and raspberry jam...

  1. why are you using CANNED sweet potatoes? The real things are dirt cheap. You throw them in the oven up to 4-5 days ahead time and bake them with something else, and they are ready to go. No icky watery syrup stuff or gross texture. I am shocked!

    There is a shortage of canned pumpkin which is why he couldn't find any. Again, the real thing is dirt cheap after Halloween. But it takes more work to process. Your pies get a lovely bright orange intsead of that brown color.
