Day 262: Sushi, Sandals, and Supplies

Posted on | May 20, 2008 |

Total Spent Today:  $107.73 

Wild Oats — $9.29
The Son needed to go sandal shopping (see below) but after a full, hot morning of running around and playing games on the last day of school, he needed a little refreshment before braving the shoe store. 

• tray of avocado roll sushi — $4.75
• can of house soda pop — $.79
• an Odwalla Strawberry C Monster (for me) — $3.29

Off-Broadway Shoe Warehouse — $59.34
The Son picked a pair of Teva Spoiler Classic sandals — no big surprise there since he’s been wearing that brand and style for years and years — probably since they first came out with that model, way back in the day when we shopped at the children’s shoe store and couldn’t imagine having to shop in a big people’s shoe store for children’s feet.  BTW, that price beats the heck out of the $80 retail being charged by REI and the like.

Kroger — $39.10
The Husband, The Son, and I stopped at the grocery store for some supplies and some quick, frozen dinners since the hour was late and I was exhausted from having watched a nail-biter of a baseball game (The Son’s team lost but they put up a good fight).

• 2 cartons of Horizon chocolate milk — $3.19/ea. (saved $0.50/ea.)
• Santa Cruz lemonade — $1.00 (saved $1.89)
• Santa Cruz limeade — $1.00 (saved $1.89)
• Dole Orange/Peach/Mango juice — $2.19 (saved $1.50)
• M&M’s (for the penny candy jar) — $2.50 (saved $0.89)
• Kroger medium cheddar — $2.50 (saved $0.19)
• Kroger sharp cheddar — $2.50 (saved $0.19)
• Stouffer’s frozen fish dinner — $2.00 (saved $1.28)
• Stouffer’s frozen shrimp scampi — $2.00 (saved $0.94)
• Hungry Man frozen dinner — $2.61
• Oberto beef jerkey — $5.49 (saved $0.50)
• G&W sugar — $2.99
• Morton salt — $0.59 (saved $0.10)
• 1.6# organic navel oranges — $2.54
• 4 gala apples — $2.00
• bag credits — ($0.15)

[I take no responsiblity for the junky frozen meals purchased.  When The Husband is shopping, he gets to buy what he wants to buy.  When I leave town, the first thing he does is buy a loaf of Wonder bread and some type of unidentifiable packaged meat.  What can I say; we come from very different backgrounds.]
