I must have been making up for last week because I went grocery shopping what seemed like almost every day this week.

First, I went to Stop & Shop.  The beef, ice cream, and blueberries were all buy 1/get 1 free.  The bread was on clearance, but will make for good french toast.  The wrapped package is cod for dinner tonight.

Then on Wednesday I went to Wegman’s.  The bag contains my free chocolate croissant; the bulk food container is dried strawberries and pineapple.  The prosciutto is to make quiche.

On the way home I stopped at Stop & Shop to pick up another round of buy 1 / get 1 free ground beef and a couple of items that Wegman’s doesn’t carry.

On Friday I stopped at Trader Joe’s.  I’m not there very often, but my boys prefer their fruit bars and yogurt sticks.  The coconut and carrots were purchased because that was where I was.  Now that I’ve used it though, I didn’t like the consistency of the shredded coconut at all and so won’t buy it again.  I was making macaroons and it was crispy and harsh instead of soft and fluffy.

Finally, on Saturday I went to the farm stand.  Being February, none of this is actually local.  The strawberries are wrapped as seconds, but we’ll eat them so fast it won’t actually matter.

Only one grocery trip this week, and it was to Wegman’s.  There’s a big beef roast, with some seasoning herbage.  The bulk container is dried strawberries and pineapple.  The gold lid is olive oil.  And, our 4-year-old has taken a real liking to jicama.  Otherwise, things are pretty standard stock up items.

For those who weren’t paying attention, this post is backdated to fill in the time after the new baby was born.  I felt it was important for both myself and readers to have a good grocery record.  It has the numbers for me, and folks seem to find them interesting.

On Tuesday I went to Shaw’s.  I stocked up on oatmeal & pizza cheese, which I can only get there, as well as fruit cups, which were on sale plus I had coupons.

I also went to Wegman’s.  We’re not back in real meal planning yet, so these items are very flexible or long term storage friendly.

Saturday I went to Stop & Shop.  Lamb was on sale for Valentine’s day; yes, this is one meal’s worth.  Strawberries and butter was also on sale.  The Eggos were free after sales and coupons.

Apparently I paired my shopping this week because I also went to the farm stand on Saturday.

The green beans are to go with the lamb.  I caved to the raspberry begging.  None of this is local since its winter.

I did a fair bit of grocery shopping this week.  I think we’re still restocking a bit.

First I went to Wegman’s.  This is, admittedly, a pretty random assortment of stuff.  I’m not sure any of it will be eaten at the same time with the possible exception of carrots and cucumber.

Oddly, I made two trips to Stop & Shop.  I thought this first batch was it, but then I was informed we were out of grape juice and cheddar slices so I went back again two days later.  (I haven’t been as on top of groceries as usual of late.)  Both were on sale so, once I knew we were out, I wanted to make sure I got there before the sale ended.  Blueberries were buy 1, get 1 free so I grabbed a few of them also.  Even if we don’t eat them all, I can make blueberry muffins.

I also went to BJs.  In the front are ground beef for chili, and steaks for beef & broccoli stir fry.  The orange juice is for a preschool breakfast.  Everything else is pretty standard.

Well, a lot is happening this month.  But, I’ve managed to at least keep up with the grocery pictures so I’m posting them to the appropriate dates (even late sometimes).

I only made one grocery trip this week – BJs.  Most things here are pretty standard for us.  I’m still stocking up a bit so there’s some extra bread and chicken nuggets for emergencies.  The steaks are for fajitas tonight.
