How I use my $50 grocery budget: week 11/21/11

It was such a popular post last week, I decided to share my shopping list again this week.

Weekend ice cream, milk, and diaper wipe run $10 + some change

I have a total of 8 turkeys in my freezer, so I don't need anymore, but they are still priced like last week, so if you still need them, now's the time.

Here's what my list looked like this week (i didn't know the prices for a few items, so those are in italics)

Meijer:
1 Angel Soft Bath Tissue 12ct double roll $5.49 - $.25/1 MF (doubled) = $4.99 not carried at my store
2 Finish Powerball Tabs 20ct $3.50 - $.75/1 MF (doubled) x2 =$2 each
3 doz. eggs $.99 each
2 Helluva Good Sour Cream Dip $1.50 - $.75/1 MF (doubled) x2 = FREE
2 Pillsbury refrigerated cookie dough $2- $.75/2 MF (doubled) x1 = $1.25 each
2 Pillsbury refrigerated pie crust $2 - $.50/2 MF (doubled) x1 = $1.50 each
Buy 4Pillsbury refrigerated Get 1 gallon milk-whole FREE
2 gallons milk- skim
2 French's French Fried Onions $2.99 - $.50/1 MF (doubled) x2 = $1.99 each
2 2lb bags domino powdered sugar $1.69 - $.75/2 MF (doubled) x1 = $.94 each
1 16oz Karo Light Corn Syrup  $2.29 - $.40/1 MF (doubled) x1 = $1.49
popcorn kernels $1.79 regular price
apples $2.50 for 3lb bag
bananas $.54/lb
1 box candy canes $.99
Anticipated price: $35-40
Actual Price: $33.83 Savings of $31.19

Here's what I brought home:

I found those blackberries $.50 each!! But the milk cost me $2.99 a gallon! Ugh, I almost drove to a different store to get it cheaper, but it's just not really on sale this week. I was just happy I got a "free" gallon for the cookie dough and pie crust.

Edited 11/26/11
I also spent $9.75 this week when we went to Columbus for Thanksgiving, because that toilet paper was too good a deal  -roughly $.37-.38 per double roll (before tax)!

Total for the week: $54 (the $4 came from previous weeks of not spending the whole $50)
