Publix & Albertsons Shopping Trip 11/12/10

I just finished this week’s shopping trip and I did pretty well considering I was able to stock up on meat at Albertson’s, included in the meat is a 13.5lb Turkey, which makes the savings even all the more better.  I went to both Albertsons & Publix today. So, how did I do?

Considering the amount of meat I purchased (35+lbs) I did great and have no complaints! How was your shopping week. If you would like to showcase your shopping trip please feel free to send me pics with the amount you spend and the amount you saved, and I will place it on the Readers Bragging Spot. Email me at info (at) centsablestewardship (dot) com. I look forwards to hearing form all of you.

Also, I know I did not post my shopping trip last week. I actually only ended up spending $22 last week on groceries. The sales weren’t that fabulous and we didn’t really need anything so I ended up really not going, other than one night I bought a few things to make a special dinner, none of the items were on sale. ;)
