Shop, Trade, Save: Week of February 28

Author: Tina | Posted: 02-03-2010 | Category: Shop Trade Save

After last week’s massive grocery shopping, this week’s seemed minuscule. In fact, my groceries only filled up two reusable bags and came in about $30 below budget. I was happy! :)

  • Arugula (NuVal score: 82)
  • Brown N Serve Turkey Sausage Links (NuVal score: 20)
  • Arnold 100% Whole Wheat Sandwich Thins (NuVal score: 37)
  • Hodgson Mill Whole Wheat Elbows (NuVal score: 90)

Save

Libby’s Canned Pumpkin was 10 for $10 this week, which was a deal that I could not pass up. Pumpkin wasn’t on the menu for this week, but with a deal like that, I incorporated one can into a meal and purchased an extra for later.

    Oh man, I’m going to have to check my local grocery store because I *love* Libby’s Canned Pumpkin. I always knew it was very nutritious, but had no idea it was THAT good. And what a delicious oatmeal addition :)

    I wonder why arugula scored so much lower than the wheat pasta?

    Okay so I think I’m the fifth person to comment on the pumpkin but I can’t find it anywhere! I stocked up during the holiday season but I’m already running out! I’m in the Boston area too – where did you find it? I’m having a pumpkinless panic! :)

    In Michigan we still don’t have canned pumpkin – it’s been MIA since before Thanksgiving. I knew there was a shortage. So glad to see it’s back on the market!

    You found Libby’s pumpkin???? I STILL can’t find it at our stores in Pittsburgh. Oh pumpkin shortage, you’re ruining my squash obsession.
