Friday Night Groceries (A little late:)

So I had a great night grocery shopping and was able to get some great deals.  Is it too sad, like to the point I should never disclose this again, that grocery shopping and deal getting make me so happy? 

I should also explain the lack of meat.  If you can tell from the picture the only meat present is lunch meat.  We honestly aren't planning on sandwiches all week long, I promise.  For a while now I have been stockpiling and we have (or at least had) a decent amount of meat in our freezer, it is now dwindling and next week I will probably buy some pork.  But the other reason we don't have any meat is because we just don't eat a ton of it.  My husband eats salads all the time and I have never been a huge fan which I guess I passed on to the kids, so moderation is the key word around here.  Anyway, on we go to the loot....

So, this week was a good week and I am pretty proud of myself.  I'm not saying I am good at this grocery shopping thing.  I know many people spend much less and save much more, but I did well for me and that is a good thing!  Most importantly of all though is that through shopping the sales and matching up my coupons I was able to save $45 for the Florida fund.  Woo Hoo!!!!!  How did you did this week?

  1. Hi, Colleen! You did great there, and organics to boot! If you haven't tried it yet, you might want to contact the organic food manufacturers and tell them how much you like their products. They might send you some coupons for them. Good luck with your blog!
