GRAND TOTAL $53.57
GRAND SAVINGS TOTAL $36.65
My evaluation of my shopping this week... Despite going over my projected amount that I threw out as a possible weekly grand total, I think I did quite well! Only spending $80.94 for two weeks worth of food, household, paper, and HBC products, I think is fantastic! IF you consider that just two weeks ago, I was spending on average $150/week for food, household, paper, and HBC products!!! I am a work in progress!!! I will find that happy medium to spending money to keep my family fed and keeping a pantry stocked of goodies to use to help keep my spending to a minimum.

Sounds like I'm not the only one rethinking my grocery shopping. :)
Great job at the store! Deals have been sparse around here too, but I have been trying to stick with the basics. Have a great weekend!

You really scooped up the deals!! Even though you went over; still amazing bargains. I read your lunch post and you have inspired me to be more creative in that area, so thank you :)
Great shopping!
