Got:
1 packet of gravy mix – price: .69 cents. I was surprised at how expensive gravy was at Safeway. The last time I bought gravy was at Costco, and I got a huge container for about $5. I know I could make my own, but I opted for convenience this time!
1 can of of tomato sauce – originally .50 cents, marked on clearance for 50% off – making the final price .25 cents.
1 dozen eggs – price: $1.69
1 quart of half & half – price: $3.99
1 gallon of milk – price: $2.39
4.58 lbs bananas – price: $3.16
1.61 lbs of oranges – price: $1.59
1 package of celery – price: $1.69
2 ears of corn – price: .80 cents
1.26 lbs of apples – price: $1.88
1 2-lb bag of carrots – originally priced at $1.59, used one .50/1 coupon that I got from writing to the company. Final price: $1.09.
I had a pretty funny experience while I was in Safeway. The can of clearance tomato sauce that I bought had the original price marked as .75 cents, but rang up as .50 cents – .25 cents cheaper than I was expecting. I went over to customer service and explained it to them, and they said that it was fine, but that they appreciated my honesty. Well, I got out to my car and started to unload the groceries, and saw 3 cases of beer sitting underneath my bags. Obviously, I didn’t buy any beer on this trip! I went back into the store and showed the checker what had happened – the lady in front of me was buying a lot of beer, and apparently forgot to take 3 cases of it; so the person bagging my groceries assumed it was mine. What was funny about this was that no one could believe that someone would actually bring back 3 cases of “free” beer – everyone’s jaw dropped, including the lady at customer service who I had just spoken to!
This trip brings my total for Week 2 to $45.20. $27.45 of this was spent on groceries, while the remainder went to dining out.
