We really did not need anything major this week so I went to Publix to grab fruit, milk, bread and a few things that were such a good price I couldn’t pass them up!! I keep telling myself that I am going to do a big stock up at some point but just have not had the chance to shop. I know that sounds crazy…but we have a great stockpile right now so my focus has been on other things. I am cutting into that stockpile quite a bit–so I know I will NEED to do a big shop soon! Luckily I have been well below my weekly budgeted amount…so I will not have to feel guilty about a big trip!!
This week I spent $7.54 for $66.17 worth of merchandise. That means I saved 89% –not too bad at all!!
By the way Publix will be getting a chunk of money from me tomorrow as I decided to let them handle Jake’s birthday cake for his party tomorrow. So– I will be shelling out over $40 bucks for that cake…but I do have a $3 coupon 
I know many of you are gasping at that decision!! I know I have enough free cake mix in my pantry to bake 20+ cakes for free! I have been a bit under the weather the past few days and with so much on my plate and a crazy schedule …pulling that $40 from our entertainment budget is a sanity saver. It is all about balance!
So here is what I got this week for $7.54
