Shopping List:
Turkey-I got a 17 lb turkey the day before Thanksgiving for $0.29/lb, so it was $4.91
Ham?-I may or may not have this, but if I do, my husband traded work for half a pig, so we have one in our freezer. I don't know how much this would be, but probably cheaper than buying it at the store.
Olive Oil-I got this at Albertson's this week with one of my "doubler" coupons. It is Berio Olive Oil (reg. $7.39 a bottle). It was on sale for $4.99 and then I had a coupon for $1/1 and a doubler, so it ended up being $2.99 a bottle.
3 cans (14.5 oz) Chicken Broth-
Brown Minute Rice-Rite Aid has Uncle Ben's Minute Rice on sale for $1.99 this week (12/19-25) and if you use the $0.75/2 Manufacture Coupon (found on Uncle Ben's website) and the $0.30/1 Rite Aid Video Values coupon, it will be 2.93. Then you get two $1 UP+ Rewards, making these $0.47 each or $0.93 total
Walnuts-I got these at Costco a while back. I found that per pound, walnuts are cheaper at Winco. I had listed prices before Christmas, but cannot seem to find the list. If I do, I will post it on here!
Gravy-I got these for $1 a jar. I probably could have gotten a better deal, but ended up finishing my Christmas shopping at 1am the night before. So this ended up being $5.
Stove Top Stuffing-Safeway had an ISC for $0.88 each this week. Two bought making this $1.76
Cheese-Albertson's the day before Thanksgiving-Kraft Shredded Cheese (reg. $4.39/each) on sale for 2/$4, I had a $1/1 coupon and a doubler making it 2/$2
Pecans-Pecans are cheaper at Costco that at Winco per pound. I guess if you just needed a little bit it would cost less money to buy them at Winco, but more per pound. Nuts are one of those thing you can freeze, so sometimes it is worth just paying the bulk price to get more.
2 cans of Sliced Mushrooms-I ended up just getting fresh mushrooms-8 oz for $1.32
Evaporated Milk-Albertsons has these for $1. I have a $0.50/2, doubled, so it is $2 for four.
Butter-I always get my butter at Costco. It is $7.79 for 4 boxes (16 oz), making these about $1.95 each. I have yet to see an ad or deal that I can get butter cheaper. I will probably need at least two boxes for all this baking, so I will put the price of this at $3.90
Rolls-Albertson's has Kings Hawaiian Rolls on sale for $3 this week. I have a $1/1 coupon and a doubler, so I will get these for $1. Also, the Rhodes rolls (dinner rolls) are on sale for $2.50 and I have a $1/1 coupon, so I will get these for $0.50. So, total of $1.50 for rolls. I will also be getting a thing of refrigerated crescent rolls for FREE for buying two Little Smokies at Albertsons.
Sesame Seeds-I got these at Winco and the final price was somewhere under $1, but since I cannot find all that paperwork from before Christmas, I will just list this as $1
2 Cream Cheese-
Whipping Cream-I haven't seen this any cheaper than I got it at Costco. I got a whole half gallon for $6.99.
Lemon Jello-Safeway had these on sale for $1.25 and pudding for $1 so I got 3 puddings and a jello. I had a coupon for $1/4, so the total price for the jello was $1
Brown Sugar-I got brown sugar at Safeway for $2
Crushed Pineapple-Safeway has Dole pineapple on sale 10/$10, so this was $1
Marachino Cherries-I got these at Winco for $1.25
Candied Pineapple-I got these in the bulk section at Winco for less than a dollar, also, but will call it $1
Candied Cherries-These were a little pricey. I probably could have gotten these cheaper elsewhere, also, but didn't have time. I spent $3 on these.
Cranberries-I got a whole bag of Craisins (a big bag, too) back in October at Costco for $2.99
Chopped Dates-These were "expensive," too, and I ended up spending $3 on these, also.
Rice Krispies-Rite Aid had Rice Krispies on sale for $1.88 last week and I had a $2/2 coupon making a box $0.88
Molasses-I ended up having some of this on my shelf, so I didn't go buy any. I did price it out, but that is on my missing list as well.
Marshmallows-Last week Safeway had its brand of marshmallows (reg. $1.59) on sale for $0.99 and I had a coupon for $0.50/1, so a bag was $0.49
Fudge Brownie Mix-I got this on sale at Safeway for $0.99
Vegetable Oil-Last week at Albertsons, they had Wesson Cooking Oil (reg.5.49) on sale for $1.99 (if you bought 10 participating products) and then I had a $1/1 coupon, so I got a bottle for $0.99
Eggs-Safeway has 18 count eggs for $1.99 this week with an ISC
Semisweet Chocolate-Albertson's has Nestle morsels on sale for $1.99. I have a $1/2 coupon, doubled, makes it $1.98 for two bags.
Toffee Bits-These were expensive, too, because I could not find a coupon for this anywhere! I paid $2.50 for these (and ended up not even using it!)
Powdered Sugar-I didn't buy this either because I had some. And I lost the price that I found it at.
Onions-Safeway had sweet yellow onions on sale $1/lb. There is a $3 of a $10 produce purchase you can load onto your Safeway card, so I did that. I got about three pounds tonight making this $3.00
Oranges-These are $0.50/lb right now, so with 4 pounds it is $2
Yams-Safeway had these for $0.99/lb, so I got 5 pounds, making this $4.95
Celery-I got this at Safeway when I got the Potatoes. It was $0.74 a pound, so it was around $1.11. (I just saw in Fred Meyer's ad for this week, though, that their celery is $0.59/lb-poo!)
Parsley-I got a bunch of this at Winco for $0.58
Potatoes-Tomorrow (12/18) Safeway has 10lb bags of Russett potatoes for $0.88
Fresh Green Beans-Safeway has bags of fresh green beans (12 oz, trimmed and washed already) for $3.99 each and right now they are B1G1, so total will be $3.99. (Fred Meyers are $1.68/lb this week, so definitely cheaper here, too. :( )
And of course make sure to take the $3 off of the produce (-$3).
OTHER STUFF FOR ENTERTAINING:
Cool Whip-Albertsons has Cool Whip on sale for $0.99 each. I have a coupon for $1/2. So, if I buy two and double the coupon, these will be FREE
Nestle Cookie Dough-Albertsons has these for 2/$4 this week. I have two $1/1 coupons with doublers, makes these FREE
Coffeemate Creamer-Albertsons has these for 2/$5 (the big 32 oz ones). I have two $1/1 coupons with doublers, this make these $1 for two of them!
Drinks:
Welch's Sparkling Grape Juice-A while back Walgreens had this on sale for $3 each and they had a day when it was 15% off with a Friends and Family pass. I also had $2/2 coupon and a $1/2 Walgreens coupon, so I was able to get these for $1.10 each or $4.40 total.
Motts Medleys Juice-Safeway had these on sale for $1.99 the other day and there was a $1/1 coupon on a tear pad near by, so I got three of them at $0.99 each or $2.97 total.
Soda-Albertson's has soda this week 4/$10. This is a smokin' deal! I try to get my soda (Pepsi/Coca-cola) at $3 or under each, and rarely is it $3. Safeway does 5/$15 often (buy 2, get 3), but it is still $3. So, to have them be $2.50 is great! I will probably be stocking up on this price!
Appetizers:
Crackers-Albertson's has Nabisco crackers on sale for $1.99. I have two $1/1 coupons and one $1/2 coupon, all doubled, so I will get two Wheat Thins for FREE and one Ritz for $0.99 and one Triscuit for $0.99 making this $1.98
Dip-Albertson's has Dean's Dip for $2. I have two $1/1 coupons, doubled, makes two dips FREE
Satsumas-If I get around to it, Fred Meyer has Clementine or Satsuma Mandarins for $3.98 for 5lb box. I have a $0.55/1 coupon, making these $3.40
Brie Cheese-Albertsons has President Brie cheese for $5.99 and B1G1. There is a supposed tear pad close to them for $1/1 and doubled, this would make them $1.99 for two
Little Smokies-Albertsons has these on sale for $2.50. I have two $1/1 coupons, doubled, making these $0.50 each, or $1.00
Bacon-We have a bunch of bacon that we got when we got the pig, but I also got a package for FREE from Winco a few weeks ago.
I will update this as I get more of it. I know I have gotten some of the other stuff already, I will just have to go back and look at receipts to see how much I paid for it. :)
So, total of what I have here is $88.49. Not too shabby for a holiday meal for that many people.
