This week, I headed to ShopRite to buy my groceries. I actually spent $52, but I need to take something that rang up wrong back to have the price adjusted and then my total will be $50.50. (I couldn’t wait to talk to customer service because I had to get back to pick up the kids.)

I only used a few coupons because I didn’t have the sale paper to match things up with ahead of time and I forgot to go online to view the ad. Why would a store not send its ad out to nearby customers? Weird, huh? Anyway, I just basically picked up all their loss leaders and bought some produce. (Note to self. Go across the street to Mars to buy produce next time. I could have probably saved 50% on the produce costs.)

4 64 ounce containers of apple juice
1 gallon of milk
2 bags of ravioli
2 bags of fries
1 box of mini waffles
18 eggs
Mozzarella block
2 packs bacon
2 packs soft tortillas
2 packs cream cheese
Sour cream
Apples
Carrots
Broccoli
Tomatoes (I can’t wait til I’m picking my own produce again!)
2 loaves of bread
8 pack Bounty (I have really reduced my use of paper towels by using cloths I made from old flannel sheets, but there are some things I still use them for.)
2 packs of Fruit Chillers (I love these things. The kids call them ice cream and consider them dessert. I’m going to try to make my own during strawberry season this year.)
Marshmallows (They’ve been begging to make Rice Krispie Treats.)
5 packs Raman noodles
Teddy Grahams
Pasta
