Awesome summer deals this week!

After camping for nearly 2 weeks straight (phew, it's good to be home!), it was time I got back to my meal plan and did some grocery shopping. My fridge is now popping at the seams and it is nice to have something to feed my kids fresh not from a box. There were several great deals this week (that end tomorrow) if you have a chance to shop in the next 24 hours. There are great deals on many bbq favorites, meat to fill your freezer, salsa, cheese & many other staples for your food storage & pantry.

Here is the 'loot' I brought home for only  $123

(Remember..plan your meals for a 2 week period. Our Deals to Meals week's plan works perfectly for most family's for 2 weeks. I love not having to shop more than 2-3 times a month--HUGE savings when you can do that!)

You might get a kick out of this, but I went over my food budget this month on my trip to the store by about $70 (I know..major oversight). So I texted my sister's on my way home from the store and asked if anyone wanted to buy some groceries that could be dropped off at their door (who knew I was the Winder Woman?). By the time I made it back home I had sold off the $70 worth of groceries I had over spent, made my sisters day for not having to go to the store this week, and came in for the month right at my budget!  My husband laughed that I would go to such great lengths to stay on budget--I have to think deep down he was impressed. Not buying 30 lbs. of butter when it's on sale is against everything I believe in :0) Here is what was left of my loot, once I sadly sold my extra butter & chicken!
