Crazy shopping week! (Wednesday Weekly Shopping)

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

So much shopping! Oy! I went a little crazy this week and went on 11 separate shopping trips.  And I went over my weekly budget of $80 by quite a bit. But I'm still way under budget for the year!

Here's what I got this week:






Publix trip 1 (not pictured): Spent $1.98, saved $6.12






Overall, this week I spent $132.74 for items which retail for $233.32, or a 43% savings based on the retail value of the products at the stores where they were purchased.  (But don't compare percentages!)

For the year (18 weeks), I spent $1344.84 for items which retailed for $2567.16, and saved $1222.32, or a 48% savings. That's an average of $74.71 spent each week for a family of five (husband, wife, and daughters ages 14, 11, and 7), 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.
