Super Savings Saturday - Back on Track with the Grocery Budget!


After being a bit, well, sloppy with the grocery budget last week - after the whole $60 in January thing I guess I was feeling like I needed to spend money for some dumb reason! - I decided that I was going to hit it hard from now on out.  We have several 'little' things that we're saving for and that money comes out of what's left from our cash envelopes, for things like groceries, recreation, gas, etc.    I'm pleased to say that I have money to put into the 'savings' envelope this week! 

Here's what I got:

Store #1:

Java Delight Coffee $4.99 with store coupon
Hunt's Ketchup 36oz $1.39
Jenny-O Turkey Breast @ $0.99/lb (store coupon): $7.95
2.61 lbs of Red Seedless Grapes @ $1.39/lb: $3.63

Total Spent: $17.96
