This Week's Price Comparison

It's almost weird how much I look forward to doing these price comparisons.  I've decided it's a sure sign of being an adult when you get this excited about knowing how much money you are saving your little family . . . all while feeding them healthy, fresh foods!

So here we go . . .

2 heads of lettuce @ $1.29 each = $2.58

6 oz blackberries @ $3.99 each = $3.99

2 lbs 4 oz bananas @ $0.49/lb = $1.10

2 lbs 2 oz Bartlett pears @ $1.29/lb = $2.71

2 lbs 8 oz black grapes @ $1.49/lb = $3.73

(Fred Meyer did not have black grapes, so this is the price for red and/or green grapes)

1 lb 12 oz Jonathan apples @ $1.29/lb = $2.19

(Lisa-Marie got Jonathans but we got Granny Smiths again.  Grannies were also $1.29/lb)

I just went back and looked at the last three week's price comparisons.  If we add those three week's savings with this week's you saved $70.62 on this month's grocery bill by getting a Bountiful Basket!

this week's Price Comparison!

Ok, so this week's price comparison comes for WinCo . . . the grocery store everyone here in Idaho swears is the cheapest of cheap (but great quality food).  I've walked out of that grocery store with bags and bags of groceries and almost felt like I was stealing because I've gotten such good deals.  So I'll be honest, I was a little worried WinCo was going to give Bountiful Baskets a run for their money.  

But, BUT!  CHECK THIS OUT . . .

2 lbs. 3 oz Granny Smith Apples @ $1.28/lb = $2.82

2 lbs. Bartlett Pears @ $0.78/lb = $1.56

i LOVE saving money!!!

One of my favorite things about Bountiful Baskets is knowing I am saving my family some money on our grocery bill, while eating healthy at the same time.  That to me, is a be.a.utiful combination!

So, if you are curious just how much money you saved this week by getting your Bountiful Basket, here is this week's price comparison . . .

(We did our price comparison at Fred Meyer this week.  That's where we shop 90% of the time because it's just down the street from our house.  We'll do Albertsons next week and then WinCo the week after that to cover all our bases).

The grocery store prices were as follows:

2 heads green leaf lettuce: $2.58

(That is for 2 of the grocery store's heads of lettuce which are always half the size of what I get from my basket.  So really, we probably should double that price!)

1 lb. strawberries: $2.00

2 1/2 lbs. carrots: $1.24

1 stalk celery: $0.89

3 red bell peppers: $3.75

(Again, mine from the basket were WAY bigger than anything I've ever gotten at the store!)

2 artichokes: $5.00

3 lbs. 6 oz. Gala apples: $3.53

2 lbs. green grapes: $2.57

1 lb. 4 oz. tomatoes: $2.09

5 1/2 lbs. cantaloupe: $2.03

GRAND TOTAL (with tax): $27.22

TOTAL SAVINGS: $10.72

I LOVE IT!

I hope that makes you excited to pick up your baskets tomorrow morning.  I know it does me!
