It all came down to butter. My tasty dinner, a zesty fresh salad with delicious mashed potatoes and fresh green chilies from Abbondanza, was on the stove and on its way to finished when I remembered that I had no butter, no milk, and no olive oil, rendering the perfect mashed potatoes with green chilies dish impossible. To Sunflower we went and my bill rang up as:
Napa Valley olive oil: $12.99
3 boxes of cereal: $13.57
Nature Valley butter: $4.99
Fresh strawberries: $4.00 (note: Tis the strawberry season! Organic strawberries 2 for $4!!)
Nappa Valley grapeseed oil: $9.49
Rudi's bread: $5.29
2 Chocolove chocolate bars: $5.18
Total: 57.30
minus: $25 from my partner in crime
My damage: $32.30
Granted, only one item was necessary for the completion of the potatoes, but this is likely my last grocery store visit of the week, so I had to prepare. Since Sunflower incurs the majority of my spending money I figure it will have to take the greatest cut during my great cut-back. But it was nice to be home again at the old Sunflower. I absorbed as much of the lovely produce display and aroma of natural food products as possible. This will sadly be my last last Sunflower visit for the week.
Real total spent for Day 1: $32.30
