Weekly Shopping Trip

I am weak. I am so weak. I was already over budget last week by $16.36, but I spent some more. Quite a bit more in fact that I have spent my grocery budget for two more weeks. Ugh! I spent an additional $79.08! So for last week I was $95.44 overbudget! So much for my $50.00 budget. So now, I can't really go shopping for the next two weeks. Instead of not going shopping at all, I am going to give myself a $10.00 budget each week for the next two weeks (for milk and stuff) and play catch up. I did pick up some great deals...but still. Ugh!

So first was Albertson's:1 family pack chicken - $5.56

1 family pack boneless pork ribs - $5.70

2 pork roasts - $5.70

3 pkgs ground beef - $7.45

Then it was the bread store for buns:

Finally, Fred Meyer there were some great markdowns and I couldn't seem to control myself. I am really well stocked on meat and stuff, but I am mad at myself for going "crazy." Here is what I got. 2 Deli Creations sandwiches - $2.58 (clearanced)
