Hy-Vee and the Cost of Commodities


By Fancy Frugalista! (Visit website)







I am 100% less than thrilled with my grocery purchase last night.  I had a screaming 2 year old, and I forgot my list. Oh well? What can you do?



In reference to last week's post about the price of groceries going up, did anyone else hear all the buzz about the rising price of commodoties in the news this week? Booooooooooo. The groceries items where I am really noticing an increase are butter, milk and bread so far. Pasta has been a little hard to find at my normal low too. Has anyone else noticed anything? I'm expecting to see more grain  products and also clothing made from natural fibers to follow. Gas also jumped as much as $.12/gallon here yesterday too.



Anyway, our groceries for the week included:



2 lbs of generic butter

1 Lipton sweet tea

2 big cans and 2 little cans of Campbell's cream of chicken soup

3 boxes of Creamette pasta

1 generic salsa

2 cans of generic black beans

2 bottles of generic apple juice

1 package of Nestle chocolate chips

1 loaf of  Sara Lee 100% whole wheat bread

1 bag of Tostitos

1 box of white rice

1 gallon of generic 2% milk

1 tub of Philadelphia cream cheese

1 pint of Belfonte ice cream (not pictured)

2 lbs of Bartlett pears

5 lb bag of Russet potatoes (not pictured)

1 Marzetti's apple dip

3.25 lbs of Golden Delicious Apples

1/2 of a bone in, skin on chicken



My pre-tax total was around $44.00. I should save a little bit with UPromise as well.My small balance will go to cover the garlic bread that I said I'd bring to my nephew's first birthday party tomorrow.



My daughter is having dental surgery on Monday, so we will be home a lot this week. I'm planning on making my mom's chicken and rice recipe tonight for dinner. I also promised the girls that we would make chocolate chip cookies today. Other meals on the agenda are burritos filled with our favorite black bean dip, whole wheat pancakes and homemade hashbrowns. I'm not quite sure what else will make the list! We're super low on cheese, and that is a tough one around here!
