Day 82: Last Minute Thanksgiving Supply Dash

Posted on | November 22, 2007 |

As predicted last night, I had to make one more trip to the grocery store — mainly for the yams I needed for candied yams for our Thanksgiving Day feast.  And what a feast it was!  We received a very warm welcome this afternoon when we arrived with eight pies (five different flavors, eight pies) plus two casserole dishes filled with candied yams.

In addition to the yams we needed, it wasn’t too hard to come up with a list of additional items needed.  I also picked up a few things that were on sale or items I had coupons for – things I knew we’d need before long.

• Tampax slender regular – $2.79 (saved $0.20)
• Tampax regular — $4.49 (saved $1.90)
• Tampax super — $4.99 (saved $1.40)
• Playtex super — $7.49
• Nexcare band-aids — $4.99
• Tums — $2.50 (saved $2.09)
• Horizon chocolate milk — $2.99 (saved $0.50)
• a lemon — $0.70
• yams — $5.54 (saved $3.27)
• Kroger raisin bran — $1.89

I saved a grand total of $10.36 or 18% off my total purchase.
