Tuesday Shopping Trip and Menu Plan

I know this posting is super late, but I thought I'd go ahead and share my shopping trip from this week and our menu plan.

I went to Town Talk and Wal-Mart on Tuesday. There weren't many good sales in the fliers. I guess all the good deals occurred last week for Thanksgiving, so all the stores were being skimpy this week. I still found some great deals at Town Talk and did some pretty good price-matching on produce at Wal-Mart.

How did I spend $10. 65 at Town Talk and get all this?

1. 8 apples = $1

2. 3 plum tomatoes = $1

3. Lipton Ranch Seasoning (2 packs) = $.89

4. 3 packs of Taco Bell Taco Seasoning = 3/$1

5. 3 packs of McCormick Enchilada Seasoning = 3/$1

6. Imagine Organic Beef Broth = $1.59

7. Del Monte Carrots (1/2 off of $.69) = $.35

8. 2 cans of Campbell's Cream of Mushroom Soup (1/2 off of $.99) = $.50 x 2 = $1

9. 1 can of Old El Paso Enchilada Sauce (1/2 off of $.99) = $.50 (this is
usually over $1 a can!)

10. 1 can of Campbell's Tomato Soup (1/2 off of $.99) = $.50

11. 1 pack of Terra Kettle's Krinkle Cut Chips = $.79

12. 1 box of Betty Crocker Sour Cream Potatoes (1/2 off of $.99) = $.50

13. 1 11 oz. pkg. of Nestle Butterscotch Morsels = $.79

Total = $10.65 (no food tax in TX)
