Adventures in grocery shopping

I love that you both had the same idea and did the same thing. LOL. And - great price on the shrimp!

We actually have a lot of freezer space so I may get a couple more bags while I'm out tomorrow. This is an insanely good price. And we both love shrimp.

I wondered if you had freezer space. Yes go buy more shrimp. That’s a good price.


I continue to love our new grocery store, new owners took it over several months ago. They advertise their business model as charging customers the same price they pay +10%, which is added at the cash register.


Overall shopping experience seems quite a bit cheaper than the old grocery store. Granted this is still a small town grocery store so it doesn’t have everything I use, but it has 85%. And the new Management has a few items that the old Management didn’t stock

Went grocery shopping today and spent more than I would have liked, but got some sales and a few "luxury" things in addition to the regular food items. Chicken legs already in the cp for picking tonight. Will divide into meal portions and freeze until needed.

okay----yes, well, i know what you kids like but one delicacy i like that has become available at walmart is salad mix that has lettuce/cabbage/carrots in more equal proportions. but yeah---more cabbage & carrots than the usual salad mix. it's all shredded up, including the lettuce. i just have a yummy platefull topped by chopped up green olives & so-called "italian" dressing. yup. maybe some french-fried onion & paremesan sprinkle-on. so anyway---you should try it, sometime.

Big shopping trip yesterday - going to both my local grocery store and Aldis. Spent over $100 combined, but that included buying stock-up on ground turkey that is being processed right now. Also got some other stock-up items, so I'm feeling good about it instead of feeling I didn't budget well. LOL.

Eggs have gotten really expensive. But that’s bird flu for you! About $6 for 18 at Walmart b

Prices are so location dependent. 12 eggs are around 3.00 or so here in Indy. We got a coupon for 2.49 and another coupon for a free dozen. Kroger gives us a lot of good coupons as a "member".

Since we are retired, we shop at 8am on Friday or Saturday. That is the best clearance days at the two smaller Krogers we go to. We have developed a relationship with the produce stockers who set out the clearance produce and the best time is 8am.

Ditto on the ground turkey being marked down. Last Friday got 3 lbs for $5.25. Our favorite protein is the Meijer family sized boneless skinless chicken thighs for $3.29 a pound. No waste and good in so many meals.

Haven't been many eggs around here. We found some this morning at Costco - the organic pasture-raised 24 pack. Not what we usually buy but $7.50 for 24 is better than other egg prices I have seen. Note: I didn't know that laying hens were "pastured."

Last week eggs were over $3 a dozen at Aldi's. Not sure what to expect this week.
