I went to Trader Joe's and purchased:
2 cartons of unsweetened almond milk
24oz vanilla soy yogurt
A tub of beet hummus
5lb whole wheat flour
1lb organic cane sugar
1lb organic brown sugar
2lb organic raisins
8oz dried cranberries
1lb raw walnut pieces
8oz raw pecan pieces
1lb almond meal (they were all out of the cashew meal)
1 jar crunchy unsalted almond butter
1 jar marmalade
1 tub old-fashioned oatmeal
3 cans of light coconut milk
1 box of graham crackers
Grand Total: $65.60
Next, I went to my local natural foods store and bought:
3/4lb organic unsweetened shredded coconut from the bulk bin
8oz bag of organic pretzel twists
15 single-serve Silk yogurt cups. They were marked $1.59 each but all had $0.55 coupons on them. I have only tried the blueberry kind so far, but I also have strawberry and peach mango. I think they reformulated their yogurt because last time I tried it, it was way better than I remembered. A few of them are close-dated, so I am testing how well one freezes, just in case.
Grand Total w/ coupons: $20.40 but I had money left on a prepaid credit card from work, so I got them essentially for free.
Finally, I went to a thrift store and bought a Pyrex baking dish with a cover, perfect for casseroles, and a Black and Decker rice and veggie steamer, brand new. I had a $5 coupon so the total was only about $10 for both, which I also covered using the prepaid card.
