Occupy My Wallet: Day 21

Ahhh!  I cracked people.  I couldn't take the pressure.  I went to Stop & Shop and bought non-perishables. I'm a junkie.  My last "real" grocery store trip was December 27th - so I made it 25 days without buying stuff for the cabinets.  I don't know what got into me - I needed a break from the family?  I needed a high?  I was sick of the snow?  Well regardless - I did it.  I admit it.  I have no shame.

I spent $79 and saved $71.  Not great - but I did buy about $20-$30 in produce that didn't have a great markdown.  I went to Stop & Shop and if you are hitting them up this week, here are some of the coupon deals I got:
