Weekly Shopping Trip---Savings $26.06

This week, I only went to one store and got WIC along with a few stock up items and spent less than fifty dollars for the week.

One of the stock up items was ground beef!  The store had it on sale for $1.79/lb and that is a good deal considering that normally it is regularly around $2.50/lb.  Initially, I grabbed a little over 8 pounds of the sale meat and when I got home I realized that  sale meat had a tag saying 93% lean meat rather than the 81% lean that they had in the ad. So I got ground sirloin meat for $1.79/lb!!!  I should have immediately gone back to the store and got more, but I didn't I waited until the next day when I had to go get a prescription from the pharmacy.  I picked up another almost 11 pounds of meat but this time the tag said the 81% lean.  That is still some decently lean meat!  So now I have about 20 pounds of ground beef that I need to get in the freezer.(find out next week what I do with the meat).

Here is the breakdown from my shopping this week:
