Albertsons Trip Got Sidetracked

Albertsons Trip Got Sidetracked!!

Ok, so i’m back from my shopping trip.  I got sidetracked several time.  Mostly by that small 2 year old of mine who I specifically got the “cool cart” for (the one with the car in the front, so she can drive).  Didn’t work out.

I ended up NOT getting:  

*Gain Dish Detergent - It was $2.89.  I read somewhere that most places have it for $0.99.  Maybe Albertsons didn’t offer the smaller bottle.

*Steak - because I forgot we still have some left over from yesterday’s lunch.  enough for a dinner.

*Seattle Best Coffee - they didn’t have it.  or i couldn’t find it.

*Hot Dogs - my coupon was for $0.55 off of Ball Park Deli Style hot dogs.  $0.55 off of $6.87 hot dogs is not a sale.  especially when i can buy a whole tray of chicken thighs for $4.44.

I did get the rest on my list though & then some….

*4 packs Maruchan saimin - $0.25/ea = $1.00

*Albertsons hot dog buns - i had a coupon for another brand, but this was cheaper

*2 boxes of Albertsons pasta - $0.99/ea = $1.98

*Shredded Cheese - $2.79 (i THOUGHT about making tacos, but didn’t buy anything else to make them HELLO?)

*Magnum Ice Cream - $3.99 - $1.50 off coupon = still too much, but it’s SOOOO good.  And i took one to my daddy to try since he’s been wondering if they were good or not.

*2 squash - $0.95  (i like steamed squash & potatoes…i already have potatos lol)

Soooo, my total was $33.58.  Buying the 10 items for the $5.00 promotion, brought my total down to $28.58.  Then I had my 2 - $5 off my next purchase, making my grand - out of pocket total - $18.58.

If i had paid better attention, I would’ve put back the hot dog buns (since i didn’t buy hot dogs), put back the shredded cheese (since i have nothing to make tacos, except hamburger) & the ice cream (it’s so good).  If i put those things back, my total would’ve been $12.05.  But whatever.  It is what it is.

Now i’m good on groceries until after I get back from my trip.  All except for Marcel’s EXPENSIVE brown rice.  Only to be found at HMart.  That tastes as close to white rice as can be.  $22.89 for a 15lb bag.  UGH!  That’s where the pasta & Hamburger Helper comes in…maybe I can stretch the rice that we have.
