We had another stellar sales week and only paid $37 for food this week!
Last week, Publix had a buy one get one free sale on Breyer’s Delights Ice Cream. I was excited because I had coupons for buy one get one free Breyer’s Delights as well. And you know what that means, right? Completely free ice cream. But, other people must have jumped on the deal too since the freezer was bare last week. So, I went to the courtesy desk and got a rain check. Needless to say, we have 8 free containers of Breyer’s Delights in the freezer! So again, like I said last week, when you see a buy one get one coupon online, print it out. If your store has a coordinating sale on the same item, you should be able to get both for free. But always check your store’s coupon policy beforehand. Publix was the only store we did our grocery shopping at this week, since our freezers are overflowing still. Below you can see our $37 weekly grocery list, grocery haul and meal plan for the week.

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.
