Weekly Shopping Trip--Savings $52.14

Usually this would be my big week of shopping but with hubby deciding to pay off a credit card before the holidays and sales not being the greatest, I had to opt for a just getting the necessary things and no stocking up the stockpile! I even found myself this week getting a few items that were not on sale because they were necessary.

So without further ado, the breakdown of my shopping trip...
