Wednesday Weekly Shopping: Cheap milk and eggs

I invite you to link up to your best grocery deals below, to inspire others to save more!

This week, we celebrated Passover, so I didn't do a lot of shopping to add to my stockpile - the food budget was used to purchase food eaten during the holiday.  But I did find some money to buy a turkey (on sale at Publix last week) to put away in my quickly-emptying freezer; I'll cook it in a couple of weeks.

I also got some great deals on the basics - 29¢ for milk at CVS and 64¢ per dozen eggs at Target.  Wish I could get those deals all the time!

Here's what I got this week (click on the link below the picture for more details about the trip):

CVS: Spent 29¢, saved $13.60

Publix: Spent $37.21, saved $42.04

Target: Spent $2.11, saved $4.15

Walgreens: Spent $3.53, saved $18.84

In addition, I made trips to:

• ALDI: $10.12 for two gallons of milk, four dozen eggs, and 2 packages of lettuce
• Kosher store: $15.45 for 1 package of egg matzah, 2 packages of chocolate chips, and 2 boxes of matzah meal
• Produce store: $1.87 for one sleeve of celery, 2 red peppers, and 3 sweet potatoes

Overall, this week I spent $71.57 for items which retail for $149.22, or a 52% savings.  (But don't compare percentages! Please!)  Of course, if I compared the ALDI and produce store prices to supermarket full prices, it would show a lot more savings. 

For the year (17 weeks), I've spent $1216.86 for items which retail for $2351.39, and saved $1134.53, or a 48% savings. That's an average of $71.58 spent each week for a family of five (husband, wife, and daughters ages 13, 10, and 6).
