Each week I share our grocery shopping trip. I really try to stay within our $65 a week grocery budget for a family of 4. Some weeks the total is more when I am stocking up on an item and other weeks it is less because of the stock up week before.
This year I have stuck to making a menu with items from my pantry and filling in with items on sale. We save money on meat because my husband is a hunter and I try to use plenty of venison in replace of beef. Since I started blogging over on Batavia’s Best Bargains I am just going to share my BJ’s shopping trips with you.

BJ’s: New Barilla Pasta Coupon & Deal Ideas ($0.75 a box! )
Such a great post! Very valuable computation for savvy shoppers to perform anytime they go shopping anywhere. Was able to stack coupons on several of the products from my BJs trip yesterday. Total before savings: $142.15. Total after coupon savings: $82.65 or 41%, assuming my math is correct at this early hour.
Thank you Janice! You did great on your savings! 41% at BJ’s Club is great!
