Our shopping trip to Fareway on Saturday cost us $277! All basics: green beans, broccoli, avocados, bacon, and 14 pounds of beef rump roast that was on sale for $3.88 a pound to can up for future meals, again nothing name brand, my splurge was a cantaloup.
We spent over a hundred dollars at Sam's Club, all basics... TP, PT, avocado oil, coffee, etc., my splurge was a rotisserie chicken!
And finally $68 at Aldi... again only basics, like sugar, half and half, milk, eggs, a loaf of bread, and his splurge was the black label vanilla ice cream.
He went back later and purchased 10 more pounds of rump roast to can up, it does make really quick meals and we haven't seen it that price in a long while, typically the sale price is $5.99 a pound.
