Sales were not amazing this week, so I did a quick trip into Ralphs as well as a Walmart pickup to save both time and money. Here’s what we ended up getting:

Life was really full the weekend of the 25th, so this post is a bit late in coming. And to be honest, the sales and markdowns weren’t all that exciting, but for the sake of consistency, I decided to share this budget grocery haul anyway.
First I went to Ralphs were I grabbed the digital deals, buttermilk, and a smattering of mark downs:
- hummus – $1.57 marked down – I put it all in the freezer
- fresh strawberries – 2#/$4.99 weekly digital deal
- buttermilk – $3.79 full price
- deli ham – $2.88 marked down
- cherry tomatoes – $1.99 digital deal – these turned out to be horrible quality
- cream cheese – $0.99 marked down
- ready to bake cookies – $1.09 marked down – see what I did with them.
- milk – $3.29 digital deal
- mashed avocado – $2.02 marked down
- sour cream – $1.99 marked down
Total spent $58
I will sometimes do a Walmart pickup to save time. Since it’s fairly competitive with ALDI prices, it generally is a money-saving app as well.
