As such, I have never shared about my grocery trips or how I use coupons (or not). But this post is different. I wanted to share a photo from a recent trip I made to the store. I just went to pick up a couple things I needed for a cake and also wanted to check and see what they had as far as organic items.
So, I bought some Kale and grapes...neither of them are organic or new purchase for me, but I knew we would eat them. The new stuff for us...Organic Whole Milk, Keifer fruit smoothie (not organic, but I've heard good things about Keifer), Sunflower oil and Organic coconut oil. I was excited to find the coconut oil but it was really expensive! I also bought some organic butter and I just realized i forgot to include it in the photo :(
The problem is that I'm new to buying organic items, so I really don't have a price reference on them. I have no idea if $3.58 for a 1/2 gallon of organic milk is a good price, average price or on the higher end! So, my next project is to create a spreadsheet that I can use to compare the non-sale prices on the new items I'm planning on purchasing. That is what I did when I quit my day-job to stay home with my babies and it gave me a good reference to start learning what was a good deal on items that I was purchasing all the time.
And for breakfast, I had some Kashi cereal with Organic Soy milk. Tyler wanted some as well and he thought it was yummy :)
