Weekly Shopping Trip--Saved $129.72

I don't know about you but grocery shopping for me at this time of year is just stressful!!  I don't stress too much about the sales and deals as much as I do the crowds!!  It is like everyone comes out of the woodwork and it does not matter what time I hit the stores they are crowded!!  

Anyway, I did get some major grocery shopping done this week(including my monthly Sam's run) with it being a "payday week" and IF I figured things out correctly I should make it til the first of the year without doing anything more than getting my WIC and fresh veggies & fruit.   

So without further ado my savings for the week....
