Weekly Totals (Link Up!)

I've already showed off most of my shopping this week.

You've seen my CVS trip  ($0.44 OOP):

And my Albertson's trip ($43.73 OOP):

Today, I ran into Aldi on the way home from the dentist and picked up 3 things and spent $3.71.  Then tonight we went to Target.  I spent $12.38 and saved $7.82.

I didn't take a picture because I'm just far too tired, but the Dollar Spot was ringing up 70 % off (even though all the signs said 50% off!).  I found Pillsbury Easter cookies marked down for $0.63 each and also an adorable little pink metal watering can clearanced for $2.98 and we totally needed a watering can!

All these trips added together equal $60.25 which is far under budget for the week.  Then I remember that on Sunday we grabbed Wendy's on the way home from church to tide us over until our late Easter meal and that was roughly $11.   $71 is right about perfect for my weekly budget, even with a costly fast food trip thrown in and an extra mouth to feed.

Averaged over the 15 weeks so far this year, I've spent $66.00 per week on groceries for my family of 4, and we've been eating much more fresh foods that we used to, so I'm quite pleased with that.
