Wednesday Weekly Shopping: Saved 71% for the week!

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

Last week, I didn't save a dime.  But this week, I stayed under budget and saved 71% on all my food!

And it's not like I just bought stuff on sale and with coupons - I also bought lots of produce, dairy, and bakery items, too!

I think this is the best savings I've had for one week this whole year.  Yay!

Here's what I got this week:

ALDI: Spent $25.60, saved $10.46

Publix trip 1: Spent $26.62, saved $61.88

Western Beef: Spent $4.57

Walgreens trip 1: Spent $1.57, saved $20.83

Publix trip 2: Spent $13.51, saved $39.35

Walgreens trip 2: Spent 30¢, saved $7.68

CVS: Spent $2.29, saved $44.45

Overall, this week I spent $74.46 for items which retail for $259.11, or a 71% savings based on the retail value of the products at the stores where they were purchased.  (But don't compare percentages!)

For the year (50 weeks), I've spent $3845.55 for items which retail for $7074.76, and saved $3229.21, or a 46% savings. That's an average of $76.91 spent each week for a family of five (husband, wife, and daughters ages 14, 10, and 6), including lots of fresh produce, dairy items, and kosher meat.
