Weekly Shopping Trip--Savings $56.70

This week's shopping trip goal was to get enough meats and food in the house to be able to make it through the rest of the month without having to do any "heavy duty" shopping. After doing a freezer and pantry inventory, I am 95% sure that I will be able to make it through the rest of June without needing anything more than fresh fruits & veggies, and milk.

I went over my weekly goal of $100 this week by $24.24! However, I still have $31.51 left in my total food budget amount of $525 for the month of June. So I think I am doing good at keeping my weekly totals at a reasonable level.

This week was a "payday week" so I made my monthly Sam's run to get several things that I got 3-4 months ago that the stash had been emptied on.

Here is a breakdown of the items that I purchased at the grocery store. You can read the breakdown of my Sam's run here.
