Walmart shopping list Oct 11 - 17, 2013

Only from this fall, I start doing my grocery shopping at Walmart.  So, I’m not very sure of the quality of its vegetables and fruit. 

Weekly must buy:

Brita 4-pack filters $19.77

$4.94 each.  This is cheaper than regular price at Target.  Sorry, it’s rollback time.  Of course, it has to be cheaper. D'oh!

Mazola corn oil or canola oil 2.84 L $5.97 

It is going to be heavy to have 2.84 L of oil inside my backpack.

Ontario broccoli $0.97 / Ontario whole white mushrooms 8 oz $0.97

I may not buy the broccoli but I will buy the mushrooms.

Ontario sweet potatoes $0.77 per lb

Have you ever tried baked sweet potato?  It’s hundred times better than mash sweet potato.

Weekly good price:

Apple Valley 8” pies apple or pumpkin 450 g – 550 g $2.00

Only 2 dollars!  I have never tried Walmart’s apple pie.  Should I buy this?

Asparagus $2.97 per lb / Ontario Rainbow peppers 3-pack $2.97

Walmart’s asparagus is No.1 grade from Peru or Mexico.  Food Basics’ asparagus is No.1 grade from Peru; but, it’s $2.47 per lb.  So I should go to Food Basics this week for asparagus, perhaps?

We already bought rainbow peppers for Thanksgiving at Loblaws on Wednesday…

Eggo waffles 16-pack $3.97

We only have a small freezer, we may not be able to buy more than 2 boxes.

Large pomegranates $1.47 each

There are many ways to use a pomegranate.  I’d love to try to make pomegranate vinegar.

Bartlett or Anjou pears $0.97 per lb / Ontario Bosc pears $0.97 per lb

Support local famers.  Say yes to Ontario Bosc pears.

Ontario carrots 3 lb $0.77 / Ontario yellow onions 3 lb $0.77 / Ontario celery $0.77 each

I bought all these for Thanksgiving already.  So, as I said it before, I should wait for the last minute to take advantage of good deals.

To my surprise, Walmart has a lot of Ontario fresh produce.  I may have to check all flyers for Ontario produce and price before I do my shopping.  For other on special items, please go to Walmart’s website.

Food Basics shopping list Oct 11 - 17, 2013

When I have chance to go to Food Basics, I prefer not to buy meat there.  I buy vegetables, fruit or other on special items.  This week, I don’t have a lot of things I’d like to buy.

Weekly good price:

Green beans $1.00 per lb

Asparagus $2.47 per lb

Will I still be able to buy green beans and asparagus when I finally have chance to go to Food Basics?

If I don’t have time to shop, I may cook other vegetables I already bought instead.  Sorry, Food Basics, I may not be your customer this week.  To check for other on special items, please go to Food Basics’ website.

Loblaws shopping list Oct 11 - 17, 2013

Loblaws shopping list Oct 11 - 17, 2013

On Loblaws’ flyer, there are Thanksgiving 3 day sale and its regular 7 day sale.  Hope I still have chance to buy my favourite apple pie on Sunday – tomorrow.

Thanksgiving 3 day sale must buy:

Farmer’s Market apple pie / pumpkin pie $4.99

I usually make my own pumpkin pie.  So, apple pie please comes home with me.

Weekly must buy:

Simply Orange 100% pure and natural orange juice $3.99

$1.52 per litre – What a great deal!  I love Simply Apple from the same company, too.

Recipes from Simply Orange Juice Company

D’Italiano bread 675 g 2 for $5.00 or $2.50 each

My sister loves this bread.  I love the way how Loblaws let us buy only 1 pack in sale price.

Ontario green cabbage $0.29 per lb

Whenever I can buy vegetables from Ontario, I will.  Sometimes, vegetables and fruit from US or other countries are cheaper.  But  we try to support our local farmers as much as possible.

Weekly good price:

Ontario greenhouse tomatoes on the vine $1.99 per lb

I bought the same kind of tomato at Loblaws on Thursday and paid more!!!

Yes, I guess I learned my lesson.  Do not do early Thanksgiving shopping.  Wait for the last minute and fight with other shoppers inside the supermarket and around the cashiers; then, you will get better deal.  Sigh… I use the bus when I shop.  As you know, I shop after school or work.  Well, I just have to check more carefully or plan more carefully before I shop next time.

Since I bought a few things already on or before Thursday, I don’t have too many things to buy at Loblaws this week.  To check for other on special items, please go to Loblaws’ website.

Target shopping list Oct 11 - 17, 2013

Target shopping list Oct 11 - 17, 2013

I’m a bus rider, so, I can only buy a certain amount of items within one trip.  These are the items I’d love to be able to buy this week at Target.

Weekly must buy:

Cottonelle bath tissue $10.99

So, 12-pk double roll will be around $5.50.  Yes, this is a good deal for me.  $4.99 will be better, though.  I hope Target will still have some for me when I’m there.

Boost nutritional drinks $7.99

This is the price I’d love to pay for.  But, it’s heavy to buy 2 packs within one trip.

Sensodyne or ProNamel toothpaste $3.99

Very good toothpaste for our sensitive teeth.  We don’t want to switch to other brands anymore.  When there’s a good price, we stock up.

Weekly good price:

Philadelphia cream cheese $2.00

I already bought 2 packs at Independent last week for cheese cake and Philadelphia sushi roll.  $2.79 each with coupon.  I paid $1.58 more!!!

Haagen-Dazs ice cream or 3-pk bars $4.49

When will we have 3 for $10.00 deal again?

Aveeno lotion $4.99

I may wait for the Aveeno gift box.  We can get 3 or 4 items inside the gift box for a good price.

Kashi cereal $3.88 / Simply Orange 2 for $6.00 (1.75 L each)

My sister loves Kashi and I love Simply Orange.  2 bottles of juice will be too heavy for me to carry.  By the way, Loblaws has Simply Orange 2.63 L for $3.99 this week.  So, Loblaws is $1.52 per litre, and, Target is $1.71 per litre.  Loblaws won this round!

KitKat Halloween chocolate singles 3 for $3.00

KitKat Halloween snack-size chocolate 2 for $10.00

Which one should I buy for myself?  Should I wait for after Halloween sale?

Well, for sure, I will not buy Simply Orange at Target this week.  I may not buy everything I listed above, either.  To check for other on special items, please go to Target’s website.
