Went to Costco on Friday. I haven't been in a couple of weeks, so had to get/spend more than I normally would.
The bill included a pack of 4 golf gloves for hubby, which do have to go back, so that would put my total at around $100 for the groceries.The pack of muffins are a super buy at 2 packs for $10.99 The muffins are that big that I have to cut them in half.
I wrap them in cling wrap and freeze them, so we get 24 for the price of 12 and they are really nice.
Popped into Walmart and they had this bag of leeks on clearance.
I find leeks expensive over here, so rarely buy them. After I cleaned them up, I had this lot left. Popped them in my Tupperware Fridgesmart container and will use them up later in the week. By the way The Fridgesmart sets are on sale at Tupperware at the moment. I love mine.
Also saw this big bag of bananas on clearance.
I was surprised how good they were when I got them all out of the bag.
Good thing we like bananas!!
Did you get any good deals this week?

We let our Costco membership lapse because it's a long drive and DH isn't comfortable in the car for longer trips. Re bananas - you might like to try what we do...separate them and then when they're at the desired degree of ripeness, freeze them (whole & in their skins). The skins turn black but the fruit is perfectly good. Works for us!
The only good buy I found was cat food. I did find an old grocery receipt in the bag from exactly one year ago. It was interesting to compare prices. The milk last year was 4.29, this year it is 6,29 (at WalMart). It was frequently 3.89 at Shoppers too. I'm going to chat with my farmer friend and ask her if she is getting any more for her milk this year.
No shopping here this week, which is a good thing. I am amazed you get out of Costco with such a small bill. Mind you when we shopped at Costco it was perhaps once every 5 months.
God bless.
As long as we make a list and stick to it, I don't think it saves any money doing a fortnightly shop rather than a weekly one. I just think I am!!
I was pleased that some of the items on my list had an Aldi price match and some were reduced with my Nectar card.
