Grocery Budget-- Week of 1/20

This week I had a pretty successful grocery shopping experience!   Take a look at my receipts:

Grocery Bill-- 1/20/13

Separate transaction--free item! :)

I spent $45.56 at the grocery store, which included $13.56 in non grocery items!  That means I spent $32 on actual groceries--- yay!  I also got free carnation breakfast from loading a coupon onto my Kroger card.  Gotta love freebies!

Here is what is on the menu this week:

Sweet Potato and Chocolate Chip Pancakes with scrambled eggs (no whole wheat flour)
French Onion Pasta---add chicken, no marsala wine
Baked Dijon Salmon with rice and carrots (almonds instead of pecans)
Crockpot chicken tacos
homemade pepperoni pizza with mozzarella bites
Creamy Bacon Carbonara with peas
Crockpot orange chicken (we never got to making this meal last week :)  )


I am so happy with how this week's shopping went.  It really does pay to take the time to use coupons smartly and shop based on what is on sale.
