My Shopping Plans

Many readers have asked how I stay withing my budget each week and save so much. I've started to post my weekly shopping plans, so everyone can see my thought process for shopping and saving.

Here is what I plan to shop for this week:

Aldi - As always, I start my shopping week at Aldi to pick up the basics and cheap produce. Milk, bread, eggs, creamer and broccoli this week. I would like to get back and see if my store has Strawberries. I saw a TV ad for Aldi advertising them for 99 cents. Spent: $10.00

CVS and Walgreens - I like to stop at least one of the drugstores on Sunday to pick up the "freebies", but this Sunday I was busy and was lucky to get to Aldi. Nothing at either store interests me too much, so will bypass them both.

Shop 'n Save - Since there is no $10 of $5o and I'm not a big fan of Conagra products, I was going to stop only for Kellogg's cereal. But, Schnucks has the Extra Savings deal on Pebbles, so I can mark Shop 'n Save off my list of stops.

Schnucks - I stopped earlier in the week for free Solo Cups, and as a bonus found beer rebates. I have lots of Durkee marinade that I picked free last summer, so I'm keeping my coupons in hopes of using it on some other Durkee product. Projected to spend: $12.50
  • Grande Chips
  • Whole Chicken
  • Pebbles
  • Bakery Buns - not on sale, just need them for burgers this weekend


Dierbergs - Once again, Dierbergs sales are the most interesting to me and I've been waiting for bounty to go on sale. Projected spending: $10.00

  • Bounty
  • Fruit Roll Ups - I can't believe my teens still love these
  • Scotch Brite Sponges
  • Broccoli
  • Cole Slaw Mix
  • Mushrooms
  • English Muffins
I'm under budget with my plan. I'll think about picking up some "family favorites" that never go on sale with the rest of my money.

What are you shopping for this week?
