Shopping Trip 2/8/10: Publix, Food Depot, Kroger, CVS

Before we have our Super Bowl party Sunday afternoon, I wanted to pick up a few things we'd need for a couple of recipes.  I've been watching the prices of chicken wings and I can't believe they are nearly $3 per pound.  I mean we're talking about the wings!  So I went to Food Depot in the next town over because they usually have cheap prices on chicken wings.  I was so excited to spy out the reduce chicken wings for $.99 per pound!  They had to be sold by today and I put them in the bottom of my fridge to stay the coolest until tomorrow night when I'll soak them in buttermilk.  I also picked up a few fruits and veggie while there:

Food Depot:

Ground Cumin $1.88

(2) Lemon Pepper seasonings $.42 each

Gum $.83

(2) Packs of Chicken Wings $3.39 and $3.94 

Cranberries $.98

(6) Limes $1.00

Fuji Apples $.68/lb $2.72

Cilantro $.64 

(6) Roma tomatoes $1.20

(2) Red onions $1.00

= $20.88 OOP and no coupons

I also wanted to pick up the rest of the things I needed at Publix and get the deals while I was there.  I used the overage on the Knox Gelatin to buy 4 packages of Ground Turkey for FREE! I should have waited on the organic milk.  The kids were going nuts and I wasn't thinking straight.  I got home and still had 1-1/2 gallons left from previous shopping trips.  Kroger frequently reduces their organic milk from $2.99 to $1.49.  I used at $1/1 printable and wish I had saved it.   

Lesson learned:  don't shop in the late afternoon before supper...the kids go crazy!
