Weekly Shopping Trip--Savings $111.09

This week was payday week so I did some stocking up along with getting some necessities. Payday week also means that I did my monthly Sam's Club run as well.

Since we were on vacation last week, I needed to restock the freezer & fridge some as I don't like to leave town with those full and risk food getting wasted due to power outage or other catastrophes.

This week one of my local stores had several different meats and meat cuts on a buy one package get one free package of equal or lesser value. Needless to say, I am so glad that I have a deep stand alone freezer so I could take advantage of that sale! My family isn't going to know what happened when I serve ranch steaks for a couple of meals in the next week!

I need to take an inventory of my pantry and freezer but I am pretty sure that we are set for the next couple of weeks and should only have to milk, eggs, and produce.
