Harris Teeter and the Farmers Market

We sold a TV today that we had listed on Craigs list TWICE in the past 3 months (I listed it near Memorial day the first time). I had given up and was sick to death of looking at it. I had sent my husband an email earlier this week telling him he MUST get rid of the thing. If I didn't say this then it would have sat in the "Pantry Overflow Room" until it was out worth nothing! Just as he started looking for a buyer at a Pawn shop I had gotten an email from someone that had emailed me before saying he wanted to look at it. As it turns out he only lived a few miles away. So he came this morning, looked and bought it! My husband gave me the money and said this is your grocery money for the month. SO $275 for the month, which is a little more than what I have been averaging a month anyway.

We went to the Farmers Market since my tomato crop has been less than stellar this season. Not that I haven't gotten many tomatoes, I have gotten quite a bit, but I didn't know how many I would get from 40 plants and since I planted 3 different varities that ripened at different times I haven't been able to make a HUGE pot of sauce like I had hoped. So we went to the farmers market hoping to get some tomatoes. Well we hit it well I do think!

We went a little later. I checked out all the vendors and it looked like the tomatoes were $1-$1.25lb. The deal was if we bought all that he had it would be $10...Then he threw in the onions.
18lbs tomatoes
6 small onions
Total OOp $10


Next to HT to get garlic to make spagetti sauce with. They have a Evic right now if you spend $50 you get $10 off and my cashier said this was BEFORE coupons. However while walking around I found a $20 rebate wyb $50 worth of groceries-so I made sure to get just over $50 worth of groceries. What better way to get items that I normally don't get a lot of coupons for? I also tried to use rainchecks since there wasn't a lot on sale that I wanted.

12 Yoplait Yogurts ($.40/2Q) raincheck $.50
1 3#bag onions reg $1.97
4 bulbs garlic $.50 each
1 6" sub of the day $2.99
1 12" sub (not of the day)$4.99
4 Hillshire farms tub lunch meats ($.55/1 peelies) sale $3.50
2 Rosemont Wine reg $7.99
1 Electrasol ($2.50/1Q) sale $5.19/2
2 Bananas ($1 wyb $4) reg $.64lb
2 Gold Medal Bread Flour raincheck $.99
1 Gold Medal flour $.99
6.59lb Hamburger meat sale $1.99lb
3.3 lbs chicken breast sale bogo $2.50/1

Used $10 evic
Paid oop $54.35
($45.08/$12.70Q)
So to recap $16 was for wine, $8.25 for chicken and $13.11 for meat, $8 for subs-I will get a $20 rebate.
