Weekly Shopping Trip--Savings $58.22

This week, I was just after some of deals along with getting milk, eggs and fresh fruit. There was a few deals with coupons that I just could not pass up.

I was able to stay under my $100 weekly budget goal for this week! I think it is safe to say that doing the pantry challenges over the last couple of months, I have successfully figured out how to cut my weekly grocery budget from $150 to $100 each week! With my family of seven, being heavy meat-eaters and having no garden I do not think I can cut the weekly budget down much more. However, I might be trying to in the next few months to see what I can do to decrease the spending each week.

So here is what I purchased this week for under $100:
