Shopping, fresh and cheap

I hate loath despise grocery shopping.

Unless I get a really good deal. Then I can suddenly put up with older men cutting in line, rude people blocking entire isles, and snotty cashiers who drop my apples, hard.  Suddenly that all goes away.

I did not coupon much today, but I found some items at ALDI that were a fantastic deal.

.49 for iceberg lettuce
3.99 for spray sunscreen (upwards of 5.99 is the best price I have found elsewhere on it)
1.24 low-fat turkey hot dogs
.69 for dozen eggs!!!
.49 avocados
.79 for strawberries

Heck ya, I racked up!

I did go in hungry and bought a few things I had not planned on (never shop hungry Jennifer! You know better)

I bought 4 cartons of eggs, hard boiled two for salads.

I bought 3 avocados one to eat, the other two to mash and freeze (once they ripen a bit more)


I bought some hot dogs, some to freeze for later, as much lettuce as I think we can consume before it spoils, and 2 cartons of strawberries. Though, if those are as delicious as they look, I will go buy some more and freeze them :)



On our vacation, between the two of use, we could use a bottle to a bottle and a half of spray sunscreen in a  day. I cringed when HH had to run to the store, unprepared with coupons or sales and buy more for 7 or 8 each (ouch!). So finding them at 3.99 today I bought 8 :)

I'll probably try them, and if I like them go buy more.

Now that that is all put up, I am off to clean the kitchen and make some home made cleaners :)

I have been wanting to make these for a while. The recipes will make natural cleaners that cost cents on the dollar. And from the reviews, they work fantastic. I'll share how it goes with you soon.

Happy Friday!
