I really love this bargain grocery store. They don't carry everything that I need to feed the family but the things that they do have are amazingly priced!!! The rest of our groceries will probably be picked up in bits and pieces so I don't plan on sharing those. I just couldn't resits sharing these incredible finds!!!

Until next time,

May all your endeavors be a blessing!

Gluten Free Pizza Oggi Review

I picked up one each of the three varieties of this Gluten Free Pizza at Grocery Outlet Bargain Market and we had to try them as soon as we got home. The packaging makes these wheat free pizzas look so good. Amazingly enough we couldn't tell, by the taste, that they are wheat free. In fact, I never told the kids that there was anything different about these. 

They are fast and easy to heat. Simply open the box and cut them out of the plastic wrapping before putting them into a preheated oven. I put them on cookie sheets because I didn't want to just put them on the oven grates, as instructed. They were golden brown in about 14 minutes. 

They are smaller than most frozen pizzas and the price is a bit higher. However, these are not ordinary pizzas, so it's all about the ingredients.  

~ Margherita ~

The first one is my personal favorite, the Margherita. The crust bakes up nice and golden brown, the toppings taste fresh. I especially like the pesto.

The box says that it's hand tossed and stone baked. The toppings are Italian cherry tomatoes, mozzarella and basil. Checking out the ingredient label, they also list Romano cheese, Parmesan cheese, and pesto made from basil, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, sea salt and black pepper, among other things. I was a bit surprised to see sugar on the list but thankful it wasn't overly sweet.

The sauce was very good as well and (according to the ingredient list) contains extra virgin olive oil, brown cane sugar, sea salt, parsley, oregano, white pepper, onion and garlic, among other things. Again, they list sugar. If you are trying to cut out sugar this may not be the pizza for you. 

~ Quattro Formaggi ~

This thin crust, cheese pizza was the favorite of the boys. They are big fans of cheese pizzas and this one has four types of cheese; Mozzarella, Asiago, Romano, and Parmesan. The sauce is the same as the first one but there was a lot less sauce on this one..... or perhaps there was just so much cheese, that the sauce got lost. The box says thin crust but, honestly, I couldn't tell. It wasn't like pizza on a cracker, the way other thin crust pizzas are. 

~ Veggitaly ~

I really thought that this one would be my favorite with fire roasted vegetables and goat cheese. However, as it turns out, I don't like goat cheese at all. Thankfully, my daughter loved this one and she finished it off, almost by herself. 

This pizza has the same hand tossed, stone baked crust as the Margherita but it doesn't have any sauce on it. I didn't notice at first but the kids were quick to point it out to me. I was impressed with the vegetable toppings. It's got roasted red and yellow peppers, zucchini, grilled eggplant, diced tomatoes, grilled onions, oregano, sea salt, Mozzarella cheese, goat cheese, olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Really, the only thing that put me off was the goat cheese. If I get it again, for myself, I'll just take those pieces off before baking. 

I hope this review was helpful. 

I'd love to hear your thoughts, if you've tried these yourself. 

Until next time,

May all your endeavors be a blessing!

First Grocery Haul For March

We weren't feeling so hot at the end of February, (I'll tell you about that in a different post) because of a little bug that was going around. As a result, we are still stocked up on most of the things that we purchased last month. Being sick really does a number on your appetites.

Here's a quick run through of what I picked up. I'm still using my husband's little car so the shopping has to be broken up into little trips instead of major shopping all on one day. The plus side is that his little car takes a lot less gas than my Suburban.

This haul cost less than $200 and is from that discount grocery that takes 45 minutes to get to. Well worth the trip and the exact reason that I always go there first.

Frozen Veggies, Meats, and Ice Cream

I'll start off with frozen foods so they can go into the freezer:
~ 7 bags of 365 Organic Three Pepper Blend

~ 1 box of Annie's Organic Bunny Fruit Snacks, Summer Strawberry

~ 1 jar of Vlasic Stackers pickle slices
~ 1 bottle of Pompeian Honey Infused Balsamic Vinegar
~ 4 bottles of Koops' Organic Yellow Mustard

Here's what's left:
~ 1 bottle of Bonafide Drinkable Veggies (hubbies)
~ 2 bottles of Pellegrino (hubbies)
~ 2 bottles of Farmhouse Culture Cola Gut Punch Sparkling Probiotic (hubbies)
~ I'm not going to list these, hubby got lots of interesting drinks
~ 1 case of individual Stonyfield Organic Chocolate Underground Double Cream Chocolate on the Bottom Yogurt
~ 2 containers of Stonyfield Organic Fat Free French Vanilla Yogurt
~ 4 bottles of B'More Organic SKYR Smoothie, Strawberry

I am always so happy when I get to the cashier at this particular store. No matter the total it is always amazingly less than it would be at a regular grocery store. Let me know if you want specific details of what we think about any of these items. We've all got our own opinions. Lol

Until next time,

May all your endeavors be a blessing!

My first order of business in starting the month off right is to stock our shelves. Unfortunately, I don't have my truck and am using my husband's little commuter car for errands. That means that I don't have room for all my shopping for the month in one trip. I'm not overly bothered by it though.

$300 Grocery Haul - November

I'm hoping to take another trip to the grocery store closer to the Thanksgiving holiday. So, this trip is just for our regular meal preparations for the rest of the month. We did phenomenally today and I couldn't be happier. In all truthfulness, our haul from October was so good that we still have plenty of staples left over. I got away with spending less than $300 and only needed to go to two stores, so I'm thrilled. As always, the majority of our groceries are organic.

$300 Grocery Haul for November

 The first grocery is almost an hour away and so worth the trip. I request that they pack my purchase in banana boxes because they stack in my truck so nicely. All the items in the plastic bags are from the second grocery. Those bags will be reused as bathroom trash can liners. Double win for not having to pay for trash bags.

Starting off with dairy:

gallon of raw milk

three tubs of organic yogurt

case of organic blueberry yogurt individual cups

two cases of organic protein shakes

fetta cheese

block of hot pepper jack cheese

cottage cheese

organic pistachio gilato

two tubs of ice cream

shaker of Parmesan cheese

Next up are Meats:

4 trays of boneless, skinless, chicken breasts

3 packages of chicken lunch meat (for my husband)

2 packages of turkey lunch meat 

6 packages of turkey burgers

20 packages of hotdogs

pepperoni

bag of frozen, chicken cutlets 

4 links of breakfast turkey suasage

My favorite category is fruits and veggies:

2 packages of organic lettuce

organic arugula

4 bags of frozen organic hash potatoes 

red and yellow grape tomatoes

tray of sliced peppers

bag of frozen peppers and onions

2 trays of strawberries

lemons and limes

cucumbers and zucchini

a spaghetti squash

2 cantaloupes
box of raisens
2 cans of olives
4 bags of frozen, organic berries
boxes and cans of organic soups and beans
4 cans of organic pumpkin pie filling
2 cans of cranberries

Here's an assortment of drinks. I don't really count these because they will all go to work with my husband.

We didn't get as many dry goods as we usually do because we still have loads left over from our October shopping trip. Today I just picked up a few things.

4 boxes of organic hot cereal

2 bags of chocolates

4 candy bars (we ate 2 already)

bag of organic rolled oats

bag of cocoa powder

2 cans of organic hot cocoa mix

3 bags of polenta mix 

2 boxes of organic cereal

2 packages of wraps

1 bag of flour

3 bags of snack food for my husband

4 containers of organic sushi rice

4 boxes of organic risotto rice

a nice pile of individual organic pretzel bags (we ate some of these already too)

Wine crackers

And last but not least, miscellaneous items and things I missed from other categories.

4 jars of organic mayonnaise 

safflower oil

apple cider vinegar

shaker of cinnamon

ketchup and mustard

organic hazelnut spread

20 cans of tuna

4 boxes of broth

6 cans of organic evaporated milk

3 rolls of paper towels

6 bags of skewers (I couldn't resist, they were 6 for $1)

Until next time,

May all your endeavors be a blessing!

I went to the discount grocery store and I'm pretty happy with what I was able to find.
