Weekly Grocery Shopping (9/23 - 9/29)

This was a pretty light week as far as shopping goes. I just grabbed some of the best deals I saw at each store and enough produce for the week. Aside from a fantastic deal on pork at Ralphs and a lot of Register Rewards at Walgreens, it was kind of a boring shopping week. That's ok though, because it helps me stay well under my $45 weekly target :)

Ralphs
Holy meat, Batman! I got a great deal on pork sirlion this week. Giant packs were on sale for .99/lb, and I had a coupon from one of the Ralphs mailers a while back for $2 off any store brand pork item. The original price on this package was 29.49, and I got it for 5.32!!! Are there actually people who would have paid $30 for this? I can't even fathom it. Anyway, I split it in half and popped it into the freezer, eventually this will probably be mega batches of pulled BBQ pork and carnitas. Yum!

It is also another week of Mega deals, where if you buy 10 "mega items" you get 5.00 off your total. I listed my mega items in yellow - the prices I listed include the .50 mega discount off each item.
