GCC Shopping Round Up

My schedule has changed a little bit and I'm still trying to figure out where to carve the time out for grocery shopping. In the meantime, I've had just enough time to hit one store for the last few weeks instead of my usual three discount stores and one chain. I'm finding that even just going to Win-co, I'm still able to find good prices. It really is all about buying foods in the most natural form possible (ie: the ingredients to cook with rather than the processed finished product).

This week I did manage to run to Fred Myers as well as Win-co. It was on my way home and they had whole chickens for $.69 per pound. I just couldn't pass that up.


1 gallon milk $1.98
1 can tomato paste $.50
1 yogurt $1.78
whipping cream $2.98
2 lb cheddar $4.48
unsalted butter $2.18
graham cracker pie crust $1.12
4 cans tuna $4.72
7 apples $4.31
fresh mushrooms $1.98
grapes $3.03
3 lbs clementines $3.98
2 lbs carrots $.98
parsley $.58
5.13lb whole chicken $4.05
4.29 lbs of stew meat $8.49
2 pkgs bacon $5.00
fish sticks $2.98

Grand Total $56.10

I haven't had to buy any non-food items for a bit but I can tell it's going to hit me all at once next week. I hate it when that happens.
