Ok, I got a GREAT deal on groceries this week. I have included my entire allottment for a six person family because we eat collectively and use a lot of leftovers for lunches so it would be impossible for me to separate out my $29.35 from our family groceries (or nearly impossible). so my total that I COULD use for the week would be $176. I spent $123. I use coupons and discounts avidly so my bill was much higher before the discounts/coupons were applied. I understand that having access to a weekly paper with coupons may not be something that all people utilize. Here are some of the things that I purchased and meal combinations.
Enjoy!
