ok WM and NF we are friends again, reduced produce deals!!
I am not psychic but was just lucky the reduced cart was being wheeled out shortly after I entered the store today at WM!!
Every bag is just $1.00 ( as many of you know )
I got 2 bags ( with 16 in each ) med/lg sized gala apples, 1 bag ( with 9 extra lg ) Asian pears, 2 bags tomatoes.
Total OOP at WM $5.00
Then dashed over to NF and seems like the produce dept is FINALLY listening to the complaints I have been making about their silly 50% off stickers being slapped on the reduced produce. No one was buying the stuff because they could not judge what the bag would come to. Rotting fruits and veg is not profitable for them it seems. ha ha
I lucked out, grabbed 4 bags tomatoes @ .99 each and another 3 bags ( bigger bags ) @ $1.49 ea.
WM reduced produce is superior by far but I wanted to do another whack of sauce up so needed more of them.
Total OOP at NF was $8.43
I worked out the cost of all of the tomatoes and seems I got them for a mere .24 cents a lb!!
The total yield in weight was 42 lbs, I washed and saved the absolute best firmest ones for eating ( 3 lbs ) and am going to process the remaining 39 lbs tomorrow. They are currently freezing right now! ( I wanted to try that boiling bath method for removing the skins this time, hope it works! )
This outing made my day!!
