Weekly Shopping Trip---Savings $175.99

This week was a payday week so I did a major shopping trip at the grocery stores. Aside from still needing to make a trip to Sam's on Monday, I am planning on getting two weeks worth of meals out of my purchases and my pantry/freezer stockpile.

I also got several convenience items that were on sale this week to hold for when we take our vacation in a few weeks and for my "lazy cook" days with my busy schedule over the next few weeks.

I am amazed at my savings this week!! I actually saved more than $176 because I got several things from Aldis! I also stopped at TWO different bakery outlet stores this week to reap in the savings with my breads and baked goods.

Here is the breakdown of what I purchased this week:
