My Weekly Grocery Shopping Trip for four 58% savings & Meal Menu

This week seemed frazzled and you know why? I didn’t shop from my pantry first. I didn’t get creative. I shopped the deals. I should really have titled this one My Weekly Grocery Shopping Trips…

But you have to do both. 

I can’t just shop from my pantry this week and miss out on the rare killer deal on  King Arthur Flour and coconut oil.

But I also don’t want to go crazy with my stockup items and use all of this month’s grocery money either.

Once again Balance. All about the Balance.

So that is what I am reminding myself as I tally up my totals from my stores this week. 🙂

 

If you are new to this series you can start here.

My Tops Trip:

Total Before Savings: $48.89

Total After Savings: $20.19- I earned 90 gas points. 

That’s like getting everything for $1.35 each! 

You can see all the coupons I used here in my Matchups just search by product. I am so sorry I am short on time tonight!

 

I didn’t take a picture but I bought 2 Dozen Eggs from Target for $0.99 each. I used the 5% Cartwheel offer and the Snap Cash Back for $0.25.- Note that this was the sale price for LAST WEEK

Total: $1.63 or $0.82 each!

 

Hmm somehow the pictures I took before today are all gone… This is how the weekend was going and is slipping its way into this week.

 

So I’ll show you the receipt!

Ok so less typing anyways right? 🙂

* I want to make a note that I made my own Yogurt Twice and buying milk at Aldi’s for $1.98 its WAYYYYY cheaper. But I need a strainer to make it thicker for the girls. They ate it ok with Granola today but I think they were doing it to be nice! That yogurt is gone already and we went to Aldi’s on Saturday. Too expensive 🙂 Oh Just like the strawberries Gone Sunday Afternoon! 

Than I headed to BJ’s. I can’t find my receipt or the picture. Of course. 

Here’s what I got.

2- 10 lb. bags of King Arthur Flour @ $6.49 each– These were on sale normally $6.99

Used two $1/1 printable coupons here

 

1 Organic Better Body Foods Coconut Oil 36 oz. $11.99

Was on sale for $9.99

 

2  bags of Alexia Organic Fries 4 lbs. $7.99 each

On sale for $5.99 each

Used two $1/1 printable coupons here, I printed mine from Hopster, But I am not seeing Alexia on there anymore 🙁

 

Total Before Savings: $41.95

Total After Savings: $30.95

My Total Amount Spent on Groceries this week: $78.24.

And I said that I had $35 extra to spend this week.

So that brings me at $43.24 which would be under budget if I were to look at the $65 a week. But right on Target when I look at this for my total spent a month!

I am relieved. Sometimes when you make multiple trips you feel it will add up.

But always waiting for a sale and using coupons you are sure to surprise yourself with savings!

 

Here’s what I’m serving up this week:

Breakfast:

Cereal

Smoothies

Granola Bars

Chocolate Bunnies 🙂 From the Easter Basket, at least that’s all they wanted this morning!

 

Lunch:

Smoothies

Ham Sandwiches

Chicken Nuggets

 

Dinner:

Crockpot Mac & Cheese

Venison Roast

Crockpot Beans and Rice

Ham and Greens pot pies with Cornbread Crust

Eggs Benedict

DATE NIGHT TO CELEBRATE MY HUSBANDS 30Th BIRTHDAY!

 

Tell me about your family’s grocery budget?

How are you managing to stay within budget?

Or what areas are you struggling??
