Good Day for Saving

I bought all of the above for 31.91, and that is my grocery total for the week. A far cry from the 100 that I used to spend, and it was always a struggle to stick to the 100 dollar budget. I am so thankful for blogging and coupons and all that I have learned about saving money at the grocery store.

Here is what I bought.

At Publix

8 packs of Knorr sides
1 bag of Pita chips

Earth Grains whole grain bread
3 cans of cinnamon rolls

Publix taco seasoning
Mission Flour tortillas

5 boxes of Jolly Time popcorn (FREE!!!!)

4 boxes of Pillsbury Reduced Sugar cake mix(.04 each!!!!!)

total before sales and coupons=43.89

total after sales and coupons=12.10

have I mentioned that I love Publix?

Then at Kroger

Kroger sour cream

2 Pepperidge Farm loaves of garlic bread

1/2 gallon of Kroger milk (marked down to .70!!!!!!!!)

2 bags of Sargento cheese

Guacamole

Kroger black beans

Tyson split chicken breast (.99 a lb!!!!)

2 packs of Hillshire Farms deli Ham

Sargento string cheese

Total before sales and coupons=33.42

Total after sales and coupons=19.81

As soon as we got home from the grocery store, Ada was begging for some lunch. Again, against my better judgement, I sat her lunch in front of her and let her dig in, so that I could put the groceries away while she ate. At least this time her lunch was a bit healthier than spaghettios. Here she is with her pasta, pears, and hummus all mixed together--yummy. After lunch we took her straight to the bath tub. This is becoming quite the trend at our house.
