My table is so full, it is hard to see everything. I spent a total of about $90 for everything you see, and some things that are buried. Here are the highlights:
(6) Philadelphia Cream Cheese @ .50/ea
(4) Frozen Containers Strawberry Slices @ .75/ea
(4) Mexican Vanilla @ .50/ea
(6) Organic Vegetable/Marinara Pasta Dinners @ .49/ea (These are perfect for my 4yo’s lunches)
(2) Nutella @ $1.29/ea (Yesterday was the first time I’ve ever tried Nutella–I can’t believe I waited so long. So good!)
(4) Trail Mix @ .99/ea
(2) Aluminum Free Baking Powder @ .75/ea
Cornstarch .49
(5) Diced Ham @ .75/ea
Whole Fryer Chicken @ $2.50
Red Pears 4 for .19 cents!! (Using these for another Pear Oven Pancake. Yum!)
I went to the local grocer after this trip and got a few things I wasn’t able to get from the discount store. As you can see from the picture, I didn’t pick up much and I still spent $42!! Yikes!
Don’t forget about those discount grocery stores, they can bring big savings!

great job on the discount grocer trip. i have yet to make it to the one that is in our city, partially it's on a side of town i never go on.
the second trip wasn't to pricecutter, was it? i find that depite their name, they are not the cheapest. a trip for milk can easily become a $20 or more trip with maybe 3 or 4 items.

I wish I knew how to go about finding one of these (short of just stumbling across one).

Ok, now I'm hungry for 2 things: chocolate cake, and Nutella. I need to get you my recipe for Nutella. W/ the baking sales going on, you'll be able to make it homemade for probably less $. I've never had storebought, I can't imagine that it's as good as homemade

I'm not sure if we have discount grocery stores in Las Vegas.
I'm with you about buying expired meat…no way!

This is perfect timing for me because we have a new discount grocery that just opened in our town. I plan to try them out so the motivation.

Just a quick question – Can you tell what the of the dicount grocer was?
Is it like an Aldi's or something? I was Aldi's wed. and got a couple of things but I also noticed somethings were cheaper at the store.
OH yes, You are so right about Nutella – it is so good.

April– I live in a very small town, we do not have a Price Cutter, or any chain grocer for that matter. I think it is an affiliate, somehow, though.
Rachel– I'm not sure how to go about finding one. We seen ours being built and after hearing many recommends, we gave it a whirl. Maybe ask around?
Busy Mom– No, this particular trip wasn't from Aldi–although Aldi and this store are my top 2 places I shop for groceries. This store isn't a chain, there are only 2..both in nearby towns.
Good to know that I'm not the only one that has a Nutella addiction! Miriam, I would love your recipe–I'm going to be out soon.
