Hi Everyone,
Today at lunch, as I was sharing some “door buster” grocery store deals ‘o the week with a co-worker, we ended up talking about everyday cheap filler items.
While everyone at the table longed for the grocery prices of even three years ago (man have they gone up; and they don’t appear to be slowing down much when it comes to staples!), we also started talking about what was *still* a relatively good deal. Here is the Top 10 $1 Wonders list for present-day Minneapolis. These food items should cost about $1 or less at typical large grocery stores (Cub, Aldi, Rainbow, Walmart, Target) and dollar stores. And who knows? Maybe one of ‘em will help you stretch your household food budget a wee bit farther….
1. Canned beans
2. Bananas
3. Canned tuna
4. 1 jar/can Spaghetti Sauce
5. Pasta, Rice, Tortillas
6. Pudding or Jell-o
7. Oatmeal/other cereal
8. Eggs
9. Ramen or Mac N Cheese*
10. In-Season fruit/veggies (could be grapes or potatoes or tomatoes or ?)
*Sorry, but it’d hardly be a noteworthy list if I didn’t include this old college throwback!!
Happy Eating,
~Penny
