Grocery Update #2

Time for the next grocery installment!

I'm super excited about some of the deals I got this week--Pick 'n Save had a "Double Double Daze" day on Saturday where they allowed shoppers to double 10 coupons (usually you can only double 5), so I definitely took advantage. They have a generous coupon-doubling policy--coupons up to $1.00 will double, so a $1.00 coupon becomes $2.00 off! Each item on the Pick 'n Save list is reflective of the amount after doubled coupons and store coupons. Anyway, here's what we got:

Aldi
1 gallon Skim milk: $2.19
1/2 gallon Whole milk: $1.79
1 yogurt cup: $.39
1 dozen eggs: $.78
2 3-pk. colored bell peppers: $1.98
1 pt. grape tomatoes: $.69
1 bunch bananas: $1.03
Total After Tax: $8.85

Pick 'n Save
1 bag whole grain Goldfish: $.98
1 jar Planter's peanut butter: $.39
2 boxes Teddy Grahams: $1.98
1 can Red Gold tomatoes with green chiles: $.09
2 packets Chi-Chi's mexican seasoning: FREE
1 box Post Honey Bunches of Oats: $.50
1 can pink lemonade concentrate: $.78
2 half gallon cartons of Kemp's Ice Cream: $4.00
1 bag McCain's frozen sweet potatoe fries: FREE
1 bag West's frozen green beans: $.78
3 jars Beech-Nut baby food: FREE
1 pkg. Johnsonville Italian sausage: $.50
1 gallon Skim milk: $1.99
1 jug Sunny-D: $1.00 (this was a special buy for my husband who thought I couldn't pass up this price--I told him it wasn't orange juice and was basically like drinking sugar, but he looked it up online and informed me that it got an A- for health, since it's the same calorie content as pure OJ and contains 100%DV Vitamin C--I'm still not sure I buy that, but I got it for him!!)
Total After Tax: $13.96

Grand Total So Far: $116.41

And for our meals:

Breakfasts:

strawberry smoothies with spinach, banana bread (made with yogurt, skim milk, berries, banana, and spinach-you truly cannot taste it, and Abe just gulps these down, so I've started putting spinach into all our smoothies! It's such a good way for him to get some healthy greens!)

Lunches:

Can you tell I had a big bag of spinach to use up?!?! It seems to have appeared in a number of our dishes! Anyway, end of Week 3. Thanks for following along!
