After coupons & store specials, I saved $61.90 (54%)

Leaving me OOP $52.30

Not too bad, $2.30 over budget but there were a couple of things I probably could have done better on...the couscous for sure. I bought the larger container since in the long run it will be cheaper, but I didn't have a coupon for it and it was not on sale. I need it for a gathering tomorrow. Oh well, I still saved more than I spent!

Hope you have a great shopping week!

Enjoy!
