Groceries

My husband went to the store because I wanted a sandwich. He ended up making two trips into the store because he forgot the coupons.

What makes this interesting from my standpoint is today I decided no more using my visa, I'm trying to stick to "cash"/checking account.

Our local Giant doesn't have the best produce, so this is what he bought:

Trip 1, total $32.74:

• Kraft Grated Parmesan, $3.49 (he couldn't find anything cheaper)
• Tostitos (for nachoes), buy one get one free at $3.99
• two cans of Giant black beans, 59 cents each
• Honey Turkey, 1/2 pound, $3.57
• Deluxe ham, 1/2 pound, $4.55 (highway robbery, grrr)
• Spring mix for Blue, our tortoise, $3.50
• Dole Italian Salad kit, $3.99
• Asiago bagels, six, $2.79
• My favorite multigrain sandwich bread, $4.29 (that's ridiculous and why I usually make my own)
• Chocolate soy milk, $2.39

Trip 2, total $18.13:

• 2 cans Campbell's minestrone, $1.09 each minus 50 cent coupon
• vegetarian beef strips, $3.99 minus $1.50 coupon
• 2 packages spinach bites and 2 packages broccoli bites, $3.99 minus $2 in coupons (these freeze well and count as a vegetable on those hectic nights)
