You need to call the store in Salt Lake and let them know. Also TELL them you want to pick up your refund or the same items at your local Smith’s. When you call, ask for a manager. I promise, you’ll be compensated. God bless 🙏🏼❤️
I would call the store and explain what happened and that you're 4hours away. They might be able to refund still or mail you a gift card or refund check! Great haul but I would be bummed about the missing items ☹️
This! Always call. Explain the situation. More than likely they KNOW someone left things and didn't catch it until you had already left. Always call!
YES... CALL THEM !!
This is the year of the purge. Using up whats in my freezer first. Then just buying the basics. I have a $200 budget for the month as well.
Call the store ! I’m sure the stuff was left at the checkstand. So they can give you a credit at your local store
That panettone will also make fantastic French toast or bread pudding. And remember that turkey sausage and lentils for a yummy, hearty soup. Saute sliced sausage in a little oil till browned and remove. Add diced carrots, onion, celery and saute till soft but not brown. Add a quart or two of stock (depending on how much you're making), a couple diced potatoes, and the lentils. Still have to season at this point (and s&p, of course) but there are so many ways to season this, different herb & spice combinations that it's basically up to you. Anyway, bring to boil and then simmer for about 20 minutes. The lentils and potatoes take the same amount of time to cook. Add the sliced saisage back in about five minutes before it's done. It's like 30 minutes to have soup from scratch!
Maybe not this time if it's not in the budget, but I like stretching those salad kits by adding lettuce. Usually romaine. It's also fairly easy to stretch the pouch dressing too. :-)
You look super cute in this video! You are a super rockstar. This has been a bigger spend month for our family. I think I have spent $280 already this month. But for us but we have been doing a lot of low spend months from September through December before we went on a 10 day trip to Florida, so that can be how it goes. You are an inspiration!
Thank you!
Bummer about the missing items! It has happened to me too but I was just 10 mins away so I could go back. They felt so bad they gave me a Refund AND insisted I also accept the items FOC. The cashier had mistakenly left them out.
Glad you made it home but sorry your items didn't. Funny you should mention the Wholly Guacamole. We went to the store around Christmas time and when we got back I pulled a package of Wholly Guacamole out and said to my husband, Did you buy this at the store?. He said Nope. Maybe we got yours lol. (We live in Tennessee)
My favorite meal is the meat and combo...I love the Brocoli crunch salad with chicken breast....btw left over Panatone makes amazing French toast
I'm TOTALLY doing that with the leftovers!
my youtube feed has been missing your videos. I was like "yep" she left town
We haven't had sloppy Joe's in a while! I always look forward to hearing your meal ideas.
I'm not on budget. We ran out of a lot of random things. So I'll be doing a low spend February and March. I hope you brought back some sausage. Go Saints!!! I'm hoping we go all the way this year.
Good series. I'm going thru the old ones. We are moving back to the States next yr. and it gives me good ideas on prices and stuff. Love that you included the "sloppy joes" song. I was singing it in my head right away!
Mmm the sweet kale chopped kits are my favorite followed closely by the Asian kit. Now I want salad....
I realize I'm new to the party here: :) But the salad kits? I have a recipe called "Beans & Greens" that calls for 3 cups of greens that end up going into a bean soup. Can be anything like cabbage, spinach, kale, etc. I look for a marked down salad mix, exactly like you got. I find they are just like you were showing: still in nice shape, and a nice mix of different greens. AND I didn't have to chop it/wash it, etc. I felt your pain with leaving stuff behind/they didn't get into your bags. We shopped when we traveled with our motor home over summers (usually at Walmarts) and you only have that happen to you once.... After that, you watch like a chicken hawk. What a drag!
Today was our left over night or as we all it ,clean out ice box day lol,have a great weekend
Great haul but yes I would wanna knoiw where rest went, maybe since so far away they can mail you a refund check, those salad vegies kits look fantastic, and at those prices you can't beat it
So sorry about the missing items....Waaaaahhhh! Do what Amber and theart2 down below said to do. Our little grocery store just switched hands not long ago, and I have found that just about every time I go, something is not ringing up correctly at the check out. You really have to watch. Things will also be plainly listed for sale in the ads, but there will be no sale price anywhere near the items on the shelf. I bought some meat that was reduced for a quick sale last week. They didn't cover the original bar code over completely with the new price, so the original price scanned in. I just happened to see it. Yesterday, they had buy 8 items, save $8 with no limit. I bought 16 and had them all together in my buggy, organized. Well, I only got $8 took off, so the manager gave me $8 in cash saying she knew that that was going to happen. I have learned not to go to the store and buy good deals on the first day of a sale. They need time to figure it out.
The broccoli salad I would sautee some and add to a quiche or we do a breakfast casserole for dinner. Add bacon and cheese. It's delicious. Just a suggestion.
Here in the UK we struggle like mad to have prices for so much food.
Boo on the missing items. I keep a very close eye on bags and the area before I leave anymore. Never lost that much but have gotten home without an onion or something else before. I have called and have been told to stop by customer service so they can reimburse me or let me have a replacement for free (after they checked that they did indeed forget to give me something). Also on a very early morning run to Frys/Kroger I noticed that none of the mega prices were ringing up. Scanned info again and then it was taken off - However - none of my $15 worth of coupons came off and I didn't notice till I got home. Customer service reimbursed me. If you look at the web site once signed in your purchases for many months are listed by detailed receipt which helped me a lot in getting my money back (applied as cash back on next trip). This week with sales and coupons we purchased (at two stores) 17 boxes of cereal for approximately $1 (the only cereal my husband eats every day). Hoping they restock when I go back before sale ends. Have a wonderful week.
YOU ARE SUCH AN AMAZING,, COMMITTED, AND DETERMINED INDIVIDUAL! ADMIRE HOW YOU KEEP IT REAL!!
You can also make French toast with the panatone bread
I did good this week I stayed under budget. I hate when I leave things at the store. Such a horrible feeling.
I love Fetch rewards. I used a Walmart gift card I redeemed through them toward my kids Christmas gifts. I had also saved my Walmart cash back and had about $100 in rewards for holiday shopping. So easy with fetch- just scan! 👍👍
Oh man, I'd be kicking myself if that happened to me too. Ugh its just annoying. For my this week, accidentally spent double on the grocery budget than i thought I was going to, but it was still in the weeks allowance of 53usd. This week I'm aiming for hopefully 25usd spent which will still leave me with $36 for the last week of January.
Overall, I'll reach a total of $143 spent for the month if I manage it which will be a saving of $215. It won't be like that for February, but I'm excited to try and stay under $215 a month.
I am in Seattle and I bought some of the same clearanced item you did but our clearance prices are double. Even at the bread outlet it’s more expensive here. I am jealous of your prices. Just commenting.
Same! We have almost 0 clearance in our stores and even when we do the prices are at least double!
I love your hair in here !!!!
I think I may have blown my budget already...sad!
Love the shirt! Woohoo!!
Who Dat!?
If that ever happens again, call the store. They’ll most likely reimburse you. Since you live far away, I’d assume they’d send you a check.
I miss Aldi!! I have tried to cut our grocies and have even been cooking all the time this month and if I didn't have such a stock up of household supplies I would not have been able to cut the bill. I can't find a discount bread store here or grocery?? I look at Smiths for the clearance items and I must miss when they do it cause there aren't hardly any ever.. I only cut my bill by like 200.00 this month. Normally I spend 800😭
LOL! I miss aldi SO much! I go in the mornings to Smith's, like 8:30 or 9? Here are the bakery outlets I found in SLC - franzbakery.com/locations/utah-bakery-outlet-locations/
Here's another one: www.yellowpages.com/american-fork-ut/mip/sara-lee-bakery-outlet-6828852?lid=6828852
Thanks!! I guess I don't go early enough to Smiths🤔😝
Loving that shirt! Geaux Saints!
Hey I am new here! I just subscribed and I have spent a total of 180.00 this month on food. We are a family of 5. I have no need to go back to the grocery store because we are stocked up😁
Welcome!!
CALL the store and tell them and get a refund :D
I'd be so upset!! Hope you get a resolution.
Do you have a breakdown of how much you spend on each category monthly, or try to aim for? Or is it too different every month to follow something like that?
It's pretty different each month. I just take a look at what I have and do my best with what's on sale!
Great meal plan,
Omg I would call the store and speak to an manager. Bummer
That check out packer had ONE JOB to do....
Maybe call.
I would call as well to get a refund etc
Go saints love to see them in super bowl 😜
RIGHT?!
Wouldn't It be cheaper and healthier to buy fresh produce in season and whole grains in bulk
How much would this be if you had to add in buying the meat for these recipes?
I am new to Ibotta. Someone help me. My first receipts are causing me issues. I had 2 different store receipts and neither one would scan so I had to take photos. But stuff from one store is showing up under the other store. And I've had items purchased that qualified for Ibotta that the UPC code is saying not matching. On my receipt but yet not showing up.
You can contact customer service and see what they say. They have been helpful to me so far.
Omg. Pannetone (i love it, cant spell it)
Lots of bread for ten bucks,
I love the bakery outlet!
Call them they will help you
Will they send them to you? Mail or email
How do you get the gift cards
You order them right on the app!
Do you live in Utah?
I am in Idaho
I'm already over 100$ 😔
Who Dat!!!!
Who Dat!?
I was talking about your Saints shirt! ;)
