Actually posted on May 15 — catching up with daily expenditures.

I didn’t get to attend church today (The Son had an early baseball game) so here’s another week in which no check has been written for my weekly offering.  I’ll catch up next week.

The Husband turned 73 on the 9th and we had a little family celebration with a pan of brownies and a new shirt on Friday.  But today is the big day — the day on which all of his older children and his granchildren come over for a proper birthday party.  And the cupboards were literally bare!

Kroger — $131.30

• Cascade dishwashing gel — $3.99 (I usually buy Ecover tablets but they’re eating up the plastic piece in my dishwasher. The scent of the Cascade powders trigger asthma attacks in me so I didn’t want to go back to that.  I figure I’ll give this stuff a try.)
• 12-pack Sprite — $3.67 (saved $0.72)
• Kroger wheat hot dog buns — $1.69
• Orowheat bread — $4.29
• other bread — $3.19
• 2 bags Kettle potato chips — $2.50/ea. (saved $0.49/ea.)
• Kroger T.P. — $3.39 (saved $0.50) [this was a smaller package of mega rolls; they didn’t have the mega packs of regular rolls that I prefer — hope that package hasn’t been discountinued]
• 1.75# carrots — $1.03
• 10.2# yellow seedless watermelon — $10.10 (whoever heard of yellow watermelon? — I cut into this and freaked out thinking it was bad or defective; made The Son taste it and make sure it was good)
• Driscol blackberries — $4.99
• Driscol blueberries — $0.00 (saved $4.99 with BOGO offer)
• 2 containers Driscol raspberries — $4.99 (saved $4.99 with BOGO offer)

According to the receipt, I saved a total of $16.54 or 11% off my total grocery bill with my loyalty card.  I didn’t have my reusable Chicobags with me so I had to ask for paper bags instead.  That worked out to be just fine, however, because apparently we were all out of paper bags and needed some more — The Son puts newspapers to be recycled at the curb in paper bags.
