Publix Trip- Saved 38%

I didn't have a whole lot to get this week since I really stocked up last week. It was mainly a trip for some staples and a few sale items. The great part was since I stocked up so much last week, our grocery bill this week was MINISCULE compared to what it used to be prior to couponing. Before couponing, we spent as average of $150/week sometimes less, sometimes more. I spend so much less than that now and am forever grateful to my friend Chrissie who introduced me to the world of couponing!

During naptime (thanks for those 3 glorious hours Ryan), I was able to make our entire dinner menu for next week out of things we already had here at home. I had to buy NOTHING for dinner! That was awesome in itself. Here is the breakdown of my weekly shopping trip:
