Back in the drugstore game (Wednesday Weekly Shopping)

I invite you to link up to your best grocery deals below, to inspire others to save more! 

After not playing the Drugstore Game for several weeks, I headed back.  I forgot how much fun it is to get lots of stuff for not a lot of money! 

I went under budget again this week.  But next week, I'm sure to go over - I'll be headed back to Publix for some great deals, and I also need to buy meat, which always puts me over budget for the week. 

Here's what I got this week:







Overall, this week I spent $60.26 for items which retail for $87.42, or a 31% savings based on the retail value of the products at the stores where they were purchased.  (But don't compare percentages!)

For the year (16 weeks), I spent $1146.90 for items which retailed for $2123.55, and saved $976.65, or a 46% savings. That's an average of $71.68 spent each week for a family of five (husband, wife, and daughters ages 14, 11, and 6), including lots of fresh produce, dairy items, and kosher meat.

In 2011, I spent $4017.13 for items which retailed for $7344.08, saving 45% and spending an average of $77.25 per week for the year.
