This week I have been totally off track. The Labor Day holiday threw me off and then I had a sick husband home for a few days. So I lost track of my days! I shopped several times this week–once last weekend and twice this past week. My totals this week are a bit higher than I typically spend in a week but there were a few out of the ordinary events. We usually go out to eat once a week -typically on Saturday night. We had such a busy day Saturday that we didn’t go early enough and my husband had a important date with the TV to watch his beloved Alabama play. So I decided to let Publix cook us dinner 🙂 I got a Rotisserie chicken meal which in all actuality saved us a chunk of change as we would have spent much more at a sit down restaurant–but it did make my grocery totals a bit higher than normal.
Also, since my husband was home I got a pizza for lunch one day. I usually do left overs, pantry items or sandwiches for lunch–but I decided to be a nice wife and surprise my husband with one of his favorites…since he was on the mend and all 🙂 I also went to the store one day without a list and just could not pass up a couple of Ribeye steaks! They were 40% off last week and I had some meat coupons! So my stuffed cabbage rolls will move to next week’s menu!
So my total spent this week was $38.90 for $203.44 worth of groceries. I saved 81% this week! I consider that a great week especially with all the out of the ordinary events! Here is what I got for $38.90:

Where did you find the $1.50 off Kraft tearpad and the $1 off produce coupons? I’m in FL. I(I’m planning on looking today.
Great job, and by the way.. tell you hubby ROLL TIDE ROLL!
Tee Hee…Windi he is sad right now since the game tonight is not on TV–he is watching other games so he can get the occasional glimpse of the Bama score at the bottom of the screen 🙂
My husband says there are 14 holy days each year–the ones on which Alabama plays! Well, tonight he actually took our oldest son on a Cub Scout camping trip (their first one together!). I was about to give him the “Father of the Year” award for going on a camping trip durin an Alabama game then I realized the game wasn’t on TV! So he had to forfeit that “crown”!!
P.S. Love your site!
Total this week $187.88, OOP $70.67 (all at Publix).
Saved 80% this week at Publix! Spent $81 for $408 worth of groceries, household items, and baby supplies. Thanks for all you do!

Hey Sarah
I got them in a trade along with the dressing coupons so I am not sure what store they are from…but my trading buddy lives in Florida.
