Last Weeks Grocery Bargains

Hello Dear Reader,

I popped out to our local supermarkets 4 afternoons last week, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, to see what marked down produce they had. I normally only go twice but I had some spare time last week so I made the effort to go a few more times and were rewarded each time. I have started checking out the marked down produce to try and reduce our grocery budget. I will only buy items we will eat and produce that is not overly processed. I don't like anything pre-marinated or just too messed with.

This is what I found last week on the marked down specials and what I have either done with it or plan to do with it

Tuesday afternoon at Woolworths-480 grams tomatoes for $1.95, 2 kg of Dutch Cream Potatoes for $2.60 and a twin pack of Cos lettuce for $1.20. Spending a total of $5.75 and saving $7.65

Wednesday at Coles, 4 Pain Au Chocolate for $1.75, 2 sleeves of Watercress for $1.98 and nearly a kilo of chicken thigh cutlets for $4.19. Spending a total of $7.92 and saving $9.96

Thursday at Woolworths-BBQ chicken for $5.40, 700 gram natural probiotic mango yoghurt $3.60 and cream for $2.40. Spending a total of $11.40 and saving $6.60

Friday-a kilo of perfect pears for $1.75 and 375 grams of mushrooms for $3.25. Spending a total of $5.00 and saving of $5.00

The lettuce, tomatoes, watercress and roast BBQ chicken have been used for lunch time sandwiches, the cream has been used for coffee and the toffee sauce for this sticky ginger pudding, the chicken was used in this chicken curry, the Pain Au Chocolate did us for a special morning tea on Saturday and Sunday, the yoghurt is being used over our breakfast fruit this week, the mushrooms and some of the potatoes were used in this veggie shepherds pie, and the pears will be poached in a ginger and cardamom syrup this afternoon.

I made this Easy Thai Peanut Chicken Curry for dinner last night

I did go bargain hunting more times this week, as I seemed to have a bit more spare time of an afternoon so I decided to pop out on 2 extra occasions. I won't be doing this on a regular basis. 

Okay, over to you, what grocery bargains did you find last week?

Have a lovely day,
💗Fi
