Our Grocery Shopping Trips This Week – filled with FREEBIES and Organic Produce!

This week, we ordered another Bountiful Baskets organic basket for $25 again.  This time we were not as impressed, but it was still an awesome deal for all of this organic produce for $25!!!! With this type of co-op, you never know what you are going to end up with, but we have found each time to be well worth the $25 spent!! You can also obtain regular baskets of produce for $15.  But we had the money in our grocery budget and so we just decided to do the $25 organic basket!

Here’s a picture of what we got!

• 1 bunch organic Kale (I am excited to try it and cook it just like spinach?!)
• 2 bunches of organic celery
• 3 organic cucumbers
• 1 bunch organic carrots
• 5 organic avaocados
• 5 organic peaches
• 1 package of organic Romain hearts
• 1 package of organic green onions
• 6 organic apples
• 8 organic bananas
• And 1 VERY pathetic looking tomato (I am not even sure what to do with the poor thing!)

We then did our regular shopping at Walmart this week. It was a very quick trip as there was not much we needed!

Here’s what we bought there!

• 1 3-lb bag apples for $3.47
• 1 2lb. bag salad $3.48
• 1 2lb. bag baby carrots $2.88
• 2.18 lb. bananas $$1.07
• 2 Dove Deodorant for $2.47 each = $4.94. Then used 2 $2/1 – $4 = final is .94 for 2 or .47 each!
• 1 2-pk Beech Nut Toddler entrees for $2.88. Then used FREE coupon = final is FREE
• 1 loaf bread $2.18
• 2 Borden String Cheese sale for $2.64 = $5.28. Then used 2 FREE coupons (received from taking a survey of theirs) = final is 2 for FREE
• 9 Ronzoni Pastas priced matched for .88 each = $7.92. Then used 5 .75/1 and 2 $1/2 – $5.75 = final is $2.17 for 9 or .24 each!

Summary: Spent $16.19 at Walmart and $25 for organic produce = $41.19!! Way under budget yet again 😉 and trying to incorporate healthier options at the same time!!
