2 beef roasts at Costco over the weekend for $19. About 4.6 pounds each.

We have been doing most of our shopping at Costco lately as they seem to have better prices on most produce, but had to go to No Frills today.

$55.53 in total. Just food to make lunch and snacks for work.

Rice $2.77

Bottle of water $2.17

Plain yogurt $3.47

Shredded cheese $5.47

3lb organges $4.97

2lb carrot $2.97

Grape Tomatoes $5.97

Kiwi fruit 2lb $4.97

1lb strawberries $2.97

5lb bag of apples $5.97

1lb ground turkey $6.97

2 chicken breasts $6.36

GST/PST 0.11, eco fee 0.04, deposit 0.05.


If I was still eating junk food and frozen dinners, probably could have gotten 2 weeks of food for the same price, fruits and veggies are not cheap.

Odd comment!

5lb bag off apples cheaper than 1lb of ground turkey.

1lb strawberries less than half the price of 1lb ground turkey.

Do you buy dried legumes?

Best way of getting good groceries is getting a decent job so you can afford (read the research) food. It can't be much more simpler than that.

Is your job not decent then? I mean you have to fish for your food. :rofl:

Ah ok, makes sense but could save you a ton of $$ in the long run. Even if you still buy mince, you could pad the meals out with some legumes to make them go further.

Yep, throw a handful of red lentils into a stew or ground beef, they disappear with cooking.
