I did my grocery shopping for this week on Monday.  Not my best shopping trip ever, but I missed the weekend specials.  I was sick, and nothing was urgent enough to share my germs and agony with fellow shoppers.

Monday is not my favorite day for shopping.  Weekend specials tend to clear the shelves of any great deals, and restocking doesn’t occur until later in the week.  But I had a few check out coupons “on your next order” that were going to expire, and I hate wasting free money.  Gas is always an issue, but the coupons and sales were more than enough to offset the cost of gas.

 

I have a fairly good stockpile of grocery and drugstore items already – a benefit of stocking up when the super sale comes along with coupons to match.  I had a few goals, mainly gourmet type coffee at a reasonable price.  DH had been buying gourmet coffee online, with auto-delivery, at around $100 a month!  This seemed out of whack compared to what I can find locally, even at regular price. 

 

So, here’s what I bought:

I already had two dozen Egglands Best eggs in the frig, bought on sale with coupons for 17 cents each.  But I have baking needs coming up, and I can always donate them to a family in need.  The same with the Peanut Butter, it’s not my favorite organic brand, but at that price I can use it for my wildlife treats (cardinals 🙂 ).

 

So, for this week, my coupon/sales savings is 80% off regular price, and $42 is below my weekly budget goal of $50.  J
