My $50 Budget - Saved 63% This Week

I hadn't bought any meat for a few weeks, so I knew that would need to be a priority this week. My $50 budget doesn't go very far when buying meat.

Schnucks

I had $10 left in my budget and planned on spending it on chicken, and then Schnucks ran the $5 Series Snack Pack deal.  I forgot all about my plans when I could pick up snack and soda for that price.

Before sales & coupons: $38.30
Spent: $10.20
Saved $28.10 for 73%

Johnny's Market

Pork tenderloin has been running $6.65 lb. at Schnucks. I was very happy to find it at Johnny's Market for $2.19 lb.

Comparable Schnucks Price: $50.48
Spent: $16.65
Saved: $33.83 for 67%

Dierbergs

Meat prices really have sky rocketed this past year.  I would have never considered $3 lb. for bacon a year ago.  Now, I think it's a deal.

Before sales & coupons: $20.55
Spent: $8.95
Saved: $11.60 for 65%

Aldi

Pineapple and cauliflower - two of my favorite items to go on sale at Aldi.  I won't pass up $0.89 cauliflower and $1.29 pineapples.

Comparable Schnucks price: $24.15
Spent: $14.21
Saved: $9.94 for 41%
