KEEPING WITHIN MY BUDGET W/E 6/25

I decided to do a post containing a list of all of the grocery items I bought this week, regardless of where I bought them or how much they cost. I always include these in my budget spreadsheet but don't always post it here.  I shopped Publix, Ingles, Bi-Lo, Wal Mart, and a local convenience store. This is what I bought this week. Please forgive the fact that the numbers do not line up. The formatting on this site leaves a lot to be desired.

10 lbs Potatoes                                  4.57
3 Cans Hominy                                   2.25

4 lbs Bar S Hot Dogs                      1.56
3 Tomatoes                                     2.10
1 Loaf Bread (other)                       1.30

The total value of everything that I bought was 123.12 and the total that I spent was 51.85. I saved a total of 71.27 or 58% this week. This includes a total of 72¢ overages, 10¢ bag credit at Bi-Lo, and a $3 total purchase coupon at Bi-Lo. This is a little over my weekly budget of $45, but the past 6 weeks I have been below budget, so that's okay. It simply happens sometimes.
