I ran in for Apple Juice.  My kids are addicted to it.  Thankfully I still dilute it but we go through it like it's water.  I tried getting that Free Milk Coupon by purchasing one of those "New" GM cereals - it didn't work.  Must be a typo.

1 Viva 8 Roll - $9.88 ($4/1 MFC)

2 Plumrose Bacon - BOGO @ $4.99 ($1/2 Shaw's Coupon)

1 Banana Nut Cheerios - $2.50 (.75/1 MFC DOUBLES)

3 Shaw's Apple Juice - 3/$5

1 Iceburg Lettuce - $1.79

1 Box of Clementines - $3.99 (4 Day Sale)

1/2 lbs Shaw's American Cheese - $3.05 (rip off)

1 lbs Shaw's Roast Beef - Sale $6.99 lb ($7.41)

1 lbs Margarita Salami - Sale $4.99 lb ($5.04) ($1/1 lbs MFC at Deli Counter)

Overall, not great.  The husband has been asking for deli meat - and that alone ran me $14.50 and I got things on sale and had a coupon.  I only did the Viva because I would have punched myself if I let a $4 coupon go to waste (bad, I know).   Still, a 68% savings between Shaw's sales and coupons I used.  Not bad.  

Thanks to Mommysnacks at www.Mommysnacks.blogspot.com, I am tracking my grocery spending this year.  I usually average about $70 a week at Shaw's but I never take into account my random BJ's purchases as well as WalMart or Target excursions on household products.  This year, I'm trying to see if I can spend less than $5,000 on our groceries, beauty and household items.  Diapers included.
