Weekly Shopping Trip---Savings $69.31

This week's shopping trip was uneventful. After my meat stockpiling last week I did not need much in the way of groceries other than milk, fresh fruit & veggies, a couple of things to complete meals and I picked up a few deals. I also made a trip to the bakery outlet to stock up my bread supply since I did not do that last week.

I spent less than $85 for everything that I purchased this week. Once again this week, I did not use much in the way of coupons. Sorry no pics again this week, hubby needs to work on my computer(read thinks he needs to do an upgrade!) so I have been trying to keep my "additions" of things to a minimum so there is less to back-up or lose.

Here is the breakdown of my purchases:
