Local Produce Market $8.00
This week was kind of a snooze fest as far as groceries go. Our local produce market had milk on sale for $2.50 a gallon, sweet peppers 3 for $1 {they were kind of small} and kiwi fruit for $0.50 each.
Costco $7.69
Butter. Why does it seem like I’m always buying butter? Sheesh, you’d think I was related to Paula Dean or something with the amount of butter I buy. Anywho, let’s talk about Costco ribbon. Isn’t it AWESOME? Seriously, you can get 50 yards of ribbon for less than $7. It’s one of my favorite deals there. {I don’t eat ribbon so I did not include it in m grocery total}. 😉
Albertsons $7.28
Albertsons. I think I’ve bought 3 giant tubs of cottage cheese in the last month all with the intention of making some lasagna freezer meals. But every time I went to make the lasagna, the cottage cheese was gone. It took me a few times to realize the HH was eating it all.
Apparently I need to buy cottage cheese a little more often. Ha!
How about you? Did you get any killer deals at the grocery store this past week? I noticed Fred Meyer has satsumas on sale so I know I’ll be stopping there to pick up a bag or too.

Funny, the same thing happens to my cottage cheese, so I have to let certain people know what its for.
PattyB says
I have to put notes on the things in the fridge that are destined for a certain recipe or my HH will eat it!
Mavis Butterfield says
Hey, that is a great idea, thanks PattyB.

greetings from NurembergI, too, am a costco ribbon addict. The day the ribbon arrived in late
August or early Sept bought the burlap looking wired ribbon. I had been trying to find tan, taupe, or neutral cafe colored plain ribbon to go with some of my Norsky looking paper. then they got in that red and tan NorskyRibbon and I had to grab that too. They sell out fast.

I am a severe Costco ribbon addict. I have gobs of it. I do actually use it and make pretty packaging and wreaths and banners and such with it. But it’s the best deal around. And it’s beautiful! Gorg, as they say.
Mavis Butterfield says
Where have you been??????
LaToya says
I cut back on the blog surfing but still have been doin’ the extreme couponing thing at Walmart and Walgreens.
Now that it’s getting cold, less outside time, more inside time – more online time 😉
Mavis Butterfield says
Yay!
