Here is my second grocery haul for the month of April. I had been hoping to try my hand at once a month shopping - but it isn't working for me - so twice a month it is!
This trip, I hit up both Costco and Real Canadian Superstore. My Superstore isn't accepting coupons (understandably!) so no coupons were used on this trip.
