SAFEWAY:
This picture looks crowded. Hmmm...So my total at Safeway came to $46+change. It was pretty good, considering I got 10 boxes of cereal for $2, both those cans of almonds for .10 each, two boxes of popcorn for .80 each, 8 cans of Pillsbury crescent rolls for around 1.25-1.30 each (can anyone say apple dumplings?) And the evaporated milk is for corn chowder next week sometime.
I know those frozen veggies aren't the cheapest way to get veggies, but I cannot cook vegetables worth a cent. These- they cook themselves. And at this stage in the game, I am simply happy to be getting edible servings of veggies on the table each night. I will learn more as I grow! And the Bertolli was on sale, plus coupon, so it will end up being a dinner for 4 for $3.50. I will take that for our rushed and hectic Thursday nights!
I am slowly coming around to the idea of a weekly menu. For as much of a detail oriented planner individual as I am, menu planning was an odd turn-off. But I am seeing the light, so someday soon I may participate in Menu Plan Mondays... another bloggy roundup. Or not. But I think I will give it a shot. Later. (That makes me a detail-oriented-planner-procrastinator. Bad combination, I am sure.)
WALGREENS:
You know how you go somewhere with a plan, and then they mess it all up by being out of something? This is how Walgreens has been for me the last few weeks. And I am really getting tired of it. Today I went with at least 6 things on my list, and came away with two rainchecked items from before and None of the original items! But, I did walk out with 4 cans of Bumblebee Albacore Tuna, and two boxes of Celestial Seasonings tea for a grand total of $2.51. I know she messed it up somehow, but there were ladies behind me saying rude non-repeatables in front of my two munchkins, so I left.

I'm sorry your Walgreens experience didn't go well. I know the feeling of not getting what your planed on getting. I also had a bad experience with Walgreens this week. I also didn't get what I planed on getting when I went in and it was the first week I ever tried RR so...well it just was a mess and just leaves a bad taste in my mouth about Walgreens. Also I can't believe some people are so rude to say unmentables in front of your kids no less!*grumble*
Heres to hope that this coming week you have a better one :)
I have not tried to shop at Walgreens yet. All the stories I have read online of the RR not printing has scared me. Sorry to hear that they didn't have the items that you needed and that ladies were using inappropriate language in front of your kids!
