This week's groceries

I went a different route this week. Decided to pick Publix & Bi-Lo as my 2 grocery stores to shop. Wrote a list of what was on sale at both stores and gathered the appropriate coupons. I also wrote down what we were out of and needed at the store. I planned my menu and based some meals off what was on sale. So didn't even come close to exceding my budget of $100 for groceries this week. The total was $56.67!!! I can't believe that I bought groceries for this amount for a whole week and my car trunk was full!!!

Publix
Total Before Coupons & Sales: $83.56
Total OOP: $44.94
Savings: 46%

Bi-Lo
Total Before Coupons % Sales: $16.76
Total OOP: $11.73
Savings: 30%
