  • Tax - .16
TOTAL - $16.90

GRAND TOTAL FOR THE WEEK - $55.59

I did a little better than last week. I would have spent a little less if I hadn't found that ground pork marked down at HEB. Because I spent extra on that, there were a few non-food items that I decided not to buy and will get them next week.

The green beans and carrots are for a recipe I'll be trying on Sunday. It's called Not Pea Soup from Dana Carpender's "Every Calorie Counts". It's on page 462, if you have the book. It calls for two cans of green beans so I bought the cheapest ones I could find. They're broken pieces so they were only 48-cents per can vs about 59-cents for Walmart's brand. It doesn't matter because they're going to be puréed in the soup anyway. I'll use one carrot in the soup and make Skillet Carrots to go with meatloaf tomorrow.

    I found buy 1 and get 2 free pork tenderloins at Albertsons. Over 6 lbs. of tenderloin for $15. Thanks for all your help. Greatly appreciated.

    I'm new so.... I saw HEB in the post and I thought, "Oh, she's from TX!" Then I saw Krogers and I thought, "Oh, but definitely not from Austin." We haven't had a Krogers here forever.

      What stores do you have besides HEB/Central Market? We had Albertson's here for a short while but they were so overpriced that nobody shopped there and they closed. Besides Kroger, we have Randall's (Tom Thumb/Safeway), Food Town and Fiesta. There are probably a few other small chains but not in my area. Of course there's also Walmart, Aldi, Trader Joe's and there's a Super Target not too far from here.
