Weekly Grocery Shopping (7/1 - 7/7)

I'm a little late posting this, I've been busy getting back to real life after vacation. I ended up having to run out Saturday night and do the shopping I usually do on Sundays because I realized the great soda deal Vons was having was only good through the 4th... I hate messing with my shopping routine but it was nice to have it out of the way. All in all this week's shopping went well, I was only a few dollars over my $50 target. Considering I had deliberately used up almost everything perishable in the house before we left on our trip and consequently had a lot of restocking to do, I'm ok with being a couple dollars over - after all we had a whole week of not buying groceries while out of town!

Walgreens
The only reason I even went to Walgreens this week was because I had $6 in RR about to expire. The ad didn't have anything I needed or thought was a great deal to stock up on, so I decided to just grab some eggs and toilet paper because we were almost out of eggs, and really... can you ever have too much toilet paper? Anyway, the shelf tag on the eggs said 1.29 each, and the TP tag said 4.29. So I got 2 eggs and 1 TP and figured that was just right for using my RR with only having a buck or so OOP. Well it turns out my ninja skills are even better than I thought, because EVERYTHING rang up less than the shelf price! The eggs came up as .99 each, and the TP as $4.00. Now I'm not one to complain about being charged less, but this meant my pre-tax total was only 5.98, not enough to use the RRs! What a crazy problem to have! So I grabbed a pack of gum, which, believe it or not had a shelf tag of 1.29, and guess what... rang up at $1! Apparently I can't even waste money if I try! :)

Quilted Northern TP 9 pack = 4.00
2 dozen eggs = 1.98
Orbit Mist gum = 1.00
RR from previous trip = -6.00

Total: 1.33
