Saved 84% This Week

Thank goodness the grocery stores all had two-week ads. There were so many good deals I couldn't fit them all into this week's budget. I was able to stock up on crackers, veggies, brownie mix, cream soup, cranberry sauce and batteries, and won't have to buy any of them for a long time.

Shop 'n Save

It was another great week, even without a Catalina deal to roll. I only shop at Shop 'n Save on a Thursday $10 off $50, and now that I have $5 off $50 coupons from the Entertainment book, I'm saving 30% walking in the door. Lisa, at My Grocery Plan, emailed me her Shop 'n Save pictures this week. Check out her shopping trip HERE. Thanks for sharing, Lisa!

Schnucks

Not included in my picture is the 5 pounds of ground chuck my husband picked up at Culinaria on his way home from work. (I only asked for 4 pounds.) The Green Works laundry detergent purchase triggered a $3 off your next bottle and a $3 off your next order coupon.
