I didn't use any coupons!! Ok I lied just a few.

Well yes sometimes the essentials can be boring. lol

This week's trip included

Maxi(for my donation project)
28 x vintage Corn Flakes clearance .50 cents each $14

IGA
4 cans Nestea .99 after coupon

Metro - $9.99
4/$5 veggies (beets, carrots, turnips)
Marocs $4.99 (not great but kids love em)

Sami Fruits - $25.49
all the rest in the pic. plus the 3L sunflower oil and pita bread


Entrepot de Viandes (The Meat Warehouse, lol) - $72
12lb box of boneless skinless air dried chicken breasts
2 x ribs
1 pkg. pork shoulder marinated in BBQ spices

This will be enough for the 6 of us for 2 weeks of meals along with some of the other veggies I have stored in the garage. Tis the season of root veggies! I am also trying to use up my Artic garden rice and veggies stockpile.

Last but not least I made dill pickles and bread and butter pickles a few weeks back but figured I would throw them into this brag. I got a $40 box which had 50lbs of #1 cukes and it made all these 1.5 litre jars and 1 litre jars.

The pickles look delicious!!

I really need to get myself to Sami Fruit between your brag and 2010ontest's, clearly I'm missing out on great produce deals. I know you told me about it ages ago - but yet I still haven't gone!

Excellent, Patty.

Were those corn flakes close to expiry? I never saw that limited edition one here. I can't believe you got them for 50 cents each.

We have LD and stacking here, but I would gladly trade for your Sami and other grocery places with the great prices...there's only so much toiletries a person needs, but you''ll always need food!

[poshcouponer]

The pickles looks delish !!!
And the vintage kellogs looks really cool !!!

[YOU AND ME]

Nope August 2012 exp., I think it was not a great seller because they had them at their $1 sale then they put them up to $2 and then down to .50 cents

[Patty Smyth]

If I don't, you're going to have to give me a swift kick to get me moving!

For example

Bananas .39 lb every week
Peppers usually below $1 lb
celery .79
melons were 3 for $5
my Sunflower oil was $5!!
tomatoes .79 lb
strawberries 3/$5
blackberries/raspberries $1
bean sprouts $1

they also have packages of "ripe" stuff like the zucchini package I bought was $1.50, quite often i will buy ripe stuff and make soups

and these were just things i noticed but didn't buy them you can also end up buying too much because the prices are so good and then you have too much waste.,

[chickypoodles]

mmmmmmm, homemade pickes....***drool***

[geniemom]

I wish i had a Sami's, that's some fine looking pickles you got there

[hollyquaiscer]

Wow, I love the price of the box of of chicken! Veggies all look so good too.

[coupon girl]

wow patty -pickles look delish and the prices you pay unreal for fruits and veggies=unreal

[xox2010]

Great brag Just one question... whats a maroc? I looked it up and can't find what it is

[coley3]

Great shopping. When you mentioned the Nestea being .99 cents I assumed it was for the frozen can. Can't believe you got the canister for that!!!!! WOW!!!
Love the pickles too.
