Super Saving Saturday, Cheap Organic Cucumbers

This past week I found a few good produce deals at my favorite discount grocery store. I also picked up chicken breasts and ground beef that were on sale. I cooked up both packages of meat so now we have cooked chicken and cooked ground beef ready to go in the freezer.

Here’re my purchases for this week,

I went to Winco Foods to pick up a few items we were low on.

I was happy to see such good deals on a few produce items. I found 5 large Honeycrisp apples for just $1. Plus I found the big Ritz crackers for just a dollar. My kids were so happy to get to try those. I’ll be picking up more the next trip if Everday Deals still has some in stock.

I didn’t stop at the bread store this week since we had enough bread in the freezer. That brings my total for this week to $85.63 which is about $10 above my usual $75 budget, but I did get to stock up on chicken and beef for our future meals over the next few weeks.
