yeast 2/$1.98
2 bags choc chips-$5.00
ricotta-$2.85 (not on sale)

IGA was $83.94 which is not too bad for a week to supplement what we already have in stock, still not as low as I would like it. I did save $13.92 by shopping my flyer.
Sweet potato chips -$4.29

Kiwi- #1/$2.66

Lettuce-#.35/$0.84
Lettuce-$3.28
Bananas #7/$3.45
Bug Chocolate-$0.79

The Downtown Grocery store was only 22.81, bear in mind that everything that comes from there is a combination of Moonshadow Farms (local organic) or shipped in organic. If there is a local option, I prefer that. Even the beer we purchase is made here in town, food less traveled!
