Weekly Shopping Trip

I had a pretty good week this week. There were some great sales and I had some good coupons! Woo hoo! First I went to Albertson's on Monday to take advantage of some FREEbies and double coupons:

The cute boy was FREE!

2#ish pkg boneless skinless chicken breast - $4.12 (-$3.00 off coupon from El Paso purchase last week) = $1.12

3 Kraft BBQ sauce - $1.00 (-3 $.75 off coupons) = $.25

3 Capri Sun Sunrise - $7.47 (-3 $1.00 off coupons DOUBLED) = $1.47

Plus they took off $3.00 for the Kraft Promo for the BBQ sauce and Capri Sun items making an overage of $1.28!

My Net OOP for all this was $18.28!

Then I went to Fred Meyer for some more great deals:

My total for the week was $53.18 or $3.18 over. Ugh! Darn those diapers! So far this year I have spent $1,206.71. My annual budget is $2,600 or $50.00 per week. With the total I have spent so far, my average is about $61.00 per week, which isn't terrible - just more than my goal.

How did you do this week?
