Plus, crawling out of my sick bed after 7 days, not leaving the house for 7 days, unshaven, I got the Wednesday 10% Senior Citizen discount off my entire order. I must look a fright. LOL...
Really good stock up sale though, after I got checked out and bagged, I was going out the door with two carts loaded down and a 3-ft. long register receipt and only spent $160! I've spent that much before going out of the store with 4 bags in the cart (I had 14 today). The savings on the advertised sale items came to $75 and I didn't use any coupons.
The cashiers at my local store are elderly ladies and they were all over my cart, commenting on it, and saying I was an old-fashioned shopper. "Look, not 1 piece of junk food in the entire cart!," "Someone is going to do some baking!" LOL I came out with 30#/flour, 24#/sugar, whole pumpkins, 21#/turkey, 16#/chicken, pork roasts, a massive amount of produce. They were down right giddy checking me out.
All of the holiday baking supplies are on sale: Flour (5lb. 1.89), Sugar (4lb. $1.99), Brown & Confectioner's Sugar (2-lb bags $1.47).
All the crackers that are normally $3.69 are $2.00.
3# bags of local apples $2.99-3.99 depending on variety (and there are about 2 dozen different varieties to select from).
Turkeys (.79/lb), Roasting Chickens (1.69/lb.). There were some unadvertised specials too, I got a manager's special of whole, skinless, boneless chicken breast (16) for $15 that I'm individually wrapping for the freezer. 4 lbs. of Brats for $12. 8-piece fried chicken dinner with 2-1# sides, and 4 dinner rolls for $9.99 from the deli.
And fresh raspberries and blackberries were $2/carton.
Off to make the cranberry relish, which will feature fresh raspberries this year!
