ShopRite

Farmers Market

When I took my little survey the other day about the reader shopping trips, one of the things that kept getting mentioned was my shopping trips.  You wanted to see mine more again.  Honestly, I have been shopping in spurts these weeks.  I have so much stocked up that I really haven’t needed much.  Each week I’ve stocked up on the freebie items only so it was kind of boring

Well, this weekend I did a bit more shopping.  So, I thought I would share it with you.  Plus I had some updates at ShopRite that I wanted to go over.

I wound up spending a total of $81.69 on my shopping between, Aldi, ShopRite & the Farmers Market.  I don’t have a picture of what I got at Aldi but I will break it down for you so you can see the prices there.  Mostly I go there just for the frozen fish.  Here is my breakdown:

Paid: 28.24
Received $3.00 catalina (Betty Crocker)
Received $3.00 catalina (Excedrin)

NOTE: I did NOT receive the $10 P&G catalina.  So, at this point I’m not sure how this deal is working.  Possibly it’s just on sale price. I’m going to call Catalina Marketing in the morning and see what they say.

And, lastly, I went to my favorite hangout.  The Farmer’s Market.  Spent $21.33 there.

We have decided to buy something once a week at the Farmer’s Market that we never buy and experiment with it.  So, this week’s new purchase was a Butternut Squash.  I have never purchased one and I’m trying to find a good recipe to try so if anyone has a great recipe for Butternut Squash, I’m all ears.

And, another note: The ending date of the Betty Crocker Frosting catalina is 11/6.  Original I had it down for 10/31 but when I looked at my catalina today, it states 11/6.  So, you have all week to do this deal.

You can head over to the ShopRite Matchups to check out all the deals.
