GCC Shopping Round Up

If you live around here you probably got the coupons that Win-co sent out. Seriously...don't throw those away. They were pretty amazing deals on some pretty darn good stuff like 2 lbs of cheddar for $2.98 or bananas for $.18 a lb. It rocked. My only problem was not reading one of the sale prices correctly. Come to find out that I grabbed the wrong package of pork and ended up paying $2.69 per pound instead of $1.99. Dang. I didn't find out until I got home so I just decided to consider it an education in reading the fine print. So here's what I got this week.

Franz

12 bread items (loaves, english muffins, donut holes) $6.00

Win-Co

2 12 packs of Shasta Soda $1.96
Sirloin Chops $9.22
3lbs chicken breasts $3.98
3 boxes Kraft mac & cheese $1.14
3 Liters of apple juice $.98
Tortilla chips $1.48
12 double rolls of TP $2.98
green tea bags $2.33
2 lbs cheddar $2.98
3 spaghetti sauce $1.44
3 cans chili $1.44
4 cans veggies $1.12
9.2 lbs bananas $1.65
10 lbs potatoes $.78


Grand Total $39.48

I found a cookbook for you (she says tongue-in-cheek) =) http://manybooks.net/titles/corsonj2841928419-8.html

10 bs of potatoes for .78? Wow...are you sure you won't head back later this week with just one dollar in your pocket to grab another bag? What a bargain--lucky you!

I've started following your blog after my husband lost his job. He'll be going to school for at least 6-9 months to get a technical school degree in IT. So, I've been trying to look for good deals.

I bought the stuff on the WinCo ad too. I didn't buy too many bananas, because although the kids eat them, we can't have too many around or they go bad. Then I saw your bananas and asked my husband if you can freeze bananas. He said yes, so I said, pick up a whole bunch on your way home from school. At this price, I've freeze them for banana nut bread and muffins and other recipes.

Wow! you get a Wnco ad? Ours says they do not give out any ads as their prices are always low so no need for an ad. With or without an ad I shop there when I can but an ad would help me locate the best bargains. Sarah
