We had another awesome week of saving at the grocery store. Lots of good sales on meats for sure this week. This week we did our shopping at Publix and Winn-Dixie. I still have tons of potatoes left over from a couple shopping trips ago and lots of side dishes too. Below you will see our $47 weekly grocery list, grocery haul and meal plan for this week.
This week’s grocery haul has great BOGO deals on meat. Winn-Dixie has a BOGO deal on Butterball ground turkey for $4.49/lb. And, if you recall a couple of weeks ago, Coupons.com had $.75¢ coupons off per package available. So basically I got 8 lbs for $12.00. This is why it is imperative that you print coupons every week or even every day like I do. Many coupon sites will reset their coupons mid month so if a great coupon that you use is available, make sure you print it out. Since we have 4 computers in the house as well as 3 printers, I make it a point when I see a high value coupon to print the limit. Remember, too if you need help couponing or finding coupons to print, you can go here. This week we saved $12.00 just in coupons in addition to the store’s special price savings. Gotta love it!
Like last week, I will include our family’s weekly meal plan, grocery list and grocery haul for $47. I will add the cost of items we bought along with the coupons I used too.

Our total grocery bill this week came in under $47 for our family of 3. Below is what our weekly meal plan for breakfast, lunch and dinner will be as well as, my son’s lunches that he takes to school and my husband’s separate breakfasts. All together, it is a total of about 63 meals.
FIRST, LET ME SAY THAT IN ORDER TO KEEP OUR GROCERY BILL SUPER LOW WE DO THE FOLLOWING:
1. Shop at different stores. Â We mainly shop at Publix but also frequent Aldi, Save-A-Lot, Winn-Dixie or Walmart when meat sales are good.
2. Our son is also a picky eater and does not eat the same meals as us different times during the week.
3. We stock up on beverages, snacks, staples etc. when we have extra money available or especially when there is not a great sale on meat.
4. I do make quite a few items from scratch.  Especially snacks for my son’s lunch, bread, muffins, soups, sauces, etc.
5. We do not include non-edible items in our grocery bill. When I do our weekly meal plan and grocery list, I do not include trash bags, dish soap or laundry detergent etc. on our list.
