We are quickly approaching week 5 of Project Table for One. This weeks groceries are coming Target.
Thanks to last weeks trip to COSTCO I got to spend the majority of my budget on food groups I have been lacking in. So here are my big wins from Target.
- 8lb Bag of Oranges for $5.00. Whole Foods (Week #2) was the last time I had fresh fruit in my pantry. No I have 8lbs of citrus goodness.
- 1lb of Ground Beer. Normally $4.49, this had a $1.00 reduced price sticker on it, so it was a steal at $3.49
- 1lb. of Shredded Coconut. For $2.52 I will be using this to flavor oatmeal, and make cereal bars. Plenty of uses for this tasty treat.
- 1sm Can of Black Olives $1.29: I didn't need this, but I was making taco salads this week, and I wanted this. Since I saved the $1.00 on the burger, it was an easy fit.
Shopping at Target was fairly easy and straightforward. Stick to Market Pantry when you can. It s generally between 15% to 20% cheaper, and is probably the highest rated private brand in the United States. Target is also a good place to go for dairy product like yogurts, and shredded cheese. Check for good meat specials, because when they are on sale, it's a steal. Produce can be a little higher here, but it's not horrible. The biggest downside to Target is that they don't have the largest assortment of items due to the size of the grocery section. But on a SNAP budget it's usually about the cheapest option, not the variety. Some targets also have a discounted/close dated food section. I have seen large bags of flower in there for a GREAT price. Unfortunately, it seems like my Target got rid of that section this week.
