So typically, the only brick-and-mortar store I go to the day after Thanksgiving is a grocery store. Grocery stores are wonderfully empty right after Thanksgiving! What I Spent I spent: $30 on a Hungry Harvest box $34 at Safeway $15 on fried chicken So, $79 for me. If you are braving the retail crowds, godspeed to you. ?

I got a free pizza from Safeway I had to stop in for a package of bacon one day, and as usual, I took a quick peek at the app to see if there were any good offers. Lo and behold, there was an offer for a completely free Safeway brand frozen pizza! But just in case Zoe and I get sick, I will be glad to have some here.

For the store brand! Even more surprising: Safeway had a special where if you bought four boxes of their store-brand plain shredded wheat, they were only $1.99 I do not generally expect Safeway to beat a Lidl price, but here we are. But last time I was in, a regular-size box of plain shredded wheat was over $4!

Anyway…I needed some litter and food for Shelley and Chiquita, and Chewy’s prices for those beat the brick and mortar stores around here. I got some free ice cream + discounted dented cereal I stopped in at Safeway to buy some berries, and as usual, I opened the app to see if any deals stood out. back on my purchase.

Now, I regularly stop in at Safeway (decidedly NOT the cheapest grocery store!), I made more things from scratch, I purposely cooked and served cheaper foods, I bought fewer convenience foods, and I worked hard to find the lowest prices possible on what I bought. But at this point in my life, I’m not prioritizing that as highly.

Basically, they consist of people noisily arranging food/toiletries/drinks in aesthetically-pleasing storage containers or drawers, rather than storing them in the packaging they came in. Are these people running a convenience store out of their homes? Who actually uses so many repeats of items, especially things like deodorant?
