My Savings Saturday (Part 8)  

Posted by: Coupon Animal

This week was okay. I was disappointed that Kroger was out of some stuff that were great buys on sale matched up with my coupons. This weeks shopping included 3 CVS trips, Walgreens, Bi-Lo, Kroger, Publix and Food Lion. And I knew I'd be over my grocery budget this week since we are going camping and having company.
