Ever marvel what the particular person forward of you within the checkout line is shopping for — and why? Right here’s my grocery haul this week.

]]>

Considered one of my first official weblog posts again in 2008 appeared rather a lot like this. Completely different home, similar desk. Groceries have been costly again then, though they have been lower than they’re now.

I believed it might be enjoyable to convey again an old-fashioned Grocery Geek put up, my recession model of a grocery haul, a price range grocery haul, to be exact.

Right now once I loaded all of it on the desk, I requested how a lot he thought it price. He thought proper, however solely in 2008 cash. Again then, this Ralphs grocery haul may need price about $150.

Acquired any guesses how a lot it did price? Right here’s what I purchased:

I paid full worth for the bananas as a result of significantly when do bananas ever go on sale? And who actually cares?

When you do, they have been 69 cents/pound.

The remainder of my produce purchases have been on digital deal, sale, or clearance.

Boxed lettuce as a result of I’m lazy and just like the comfort – $2.08 to $2.63 marked down

mushrooms – $2.94/lb marked down

campari tomatoes – $2.49 digital deal

roma tomatoes – $0.99/lb on sale

xl avocados – $2.49/ea digital deal

cuties – $3.99/3-lb bag on sale

sandwich bread – $1.75 marked down

dairy and meat items next to pantry staples on table.

There have been a great deal of gross sales and clearance gadgets within the meat and dairy. The one factor I paid full worth for was the milk at $3.99/gallon.

Each time I see cheese at $3.50/pound or much less, I top off on the restrict. I don’t want a motive as a result of with seven individuals in the home, we eat cheese. I don’t spend greater than this goal worth, excluding fancy cheeses, just like the swiss.

I additionally top off on meats that I do know we are going to use regularly, like pepperoni that we use in weekly grilled pizza, diced ham for this ham egg bake, breakfast sausage for this sausage egg bake, and pancetta that I like to make use of as a substitute of bacon on this potato pizza.

I at all times maintain some cake mixes readily available for Recreation Evening Snacks. I’m unhappy to see that they’ve decreased the scale of the cake combine. Shrinkflators!

And whereas I like selfmade pancakes, I did seize a number of containers of combine as a result of eggs and flour are so costly.

Fage yogurt – $5.99 on sale

chobani yogurt – $2.49 digital deal

Kroger cheese – $3.49 digital deal

Sargento sliced cheese – $2.49 purchase 5 deal

pepperoni – $1.08 on clearance

diced ham – $1.08 on clearance

pancetta – $3.69 on clearance

turkey sausage – $2.09 on clearance

pure deli turkey – $3.29 digital deal

cake combine – $1.19 on sale

pancake combine – $1.99 on digital deal

pantry staples on table with other groceries.

I don’t sometimes purchase lots of pantry staples at Ralphs, often simply gadgets we are able to’t get at ALDI the place these gadgets are usually the most cost effective. Nonetheless, these have been good offers and/or not at ALDI.

I solely purchase bagged pasta as a result of I’ve had points with bugs within the boxed sort. ALDI doesn’t have lots of choices. Whereas I sometimes make my very own Crock Pot Spaghetti Sauce, I’ll top off on “no sugar added” jarred sort when it’s underneath $2/jar.

The cereal is for my son, so he’ll be reimbursing me for it. We usually purchase glowing water at Costco Enterprise, however this was FREE with a digital coupon from Ralphs.

pasta – $1.25 on sale

Ragu no sugar added – $1.79/24 oz while you purchase 5

seltzer – FREE plus $0.60 CRV

Kashi Go – $3.99/field

Hiding in that image is a small bottle of dried basil that I paid a ridiculous $3.69 for. Usually, I’d get a jumbo carton, however I haven’t been anyplace not too long ago the place they promote them, so we’re making do on that depend.

variety of packaged meat on table.

The meat division is the place I actually cleaned up. I’ve discovered that the dearer issues get, the much less individuals purchase so the extra the shop marks down.

I ran this idea by the meat supervisor this morning and he agreed.

I purchase no matter’s underneath $5/lb for beef or $4/lb for pork, turkey, or hen and both cook dinner it that day or stash it within the freezer.

I’ve by no means tried the Randall Farms Fiesta Taco Package, however $5.25/3 kilos of meat works out to be a killer deal, $1.75/pound to be precise, so I figured we’d attempt it and see.

beef rib roast – $4.78/lb marked down

tri-tip steaks – $4.19/lb marked down

fiesta taco package – $5.25/3 lbs marked down

floor turkey – $3.99/lb on sale

floor beef ranged $3.73 – $4.12/lb marked down

angus patties – $5.04/lb marked down

Kobe burgers $$4.05/lb marked down

spicy turkey sausage – $3.15/19.5 oz marked down

bags and baskets of groceries in the back of van.

So the grand complete of this Ralphs grocery haul was $250. Earlier than all of the coupons and reductions utilized, it was $340.

It’s not 2008 costs, however I’ll take it!

Earlier than anybody asks, sure, I did get eggs, simply not at Ralphs. The final time egg costs went bonkers, Sprouts was my go-to for inexpensive eggs. When this entire factor began, I instructed the children we’d have eggs so long as I may discover them for $5/dozen.

Blessings to Sprouts for promoting 18-packs for $6.69! This works out to $4.46/dozen. You’re allowed to purchase two packages. I purchased two final week and one other two this week.

And we’re spending them fastidiously.
