DH needed coffee so we made a trip to Costco. We bought 3lbs. of Sumatra coffee and a case of Minute Made juice boxes for $21 and change(can't find receipt for exact total).

I used my Grocery Game List for Kroger. Being in the cherry picking stage, I didn't need much off my list. Most of my purchases this time around was for produce, organic dairy products and a couple of non-list items we were using for meals this week. My Total OOP was $44.73 for $66.74 in groceries. A savings of 33%.

It wasn't all about the food this week. I needed some items for my wardrobe, so with $13 in the clothing budget, a $10 off $10 coupon to JCPenneys and 2 GCs with remaining balances on them I was off to get a pair of pants and a pair of dress shoes.

At JCPenney I got:

A pair of black corduroys

Original price: $36.00

Sale Price: $17.99

Minus $10 Q

Minus $3.42 on GC

Total OOP with tax: $5.05

At Stein Mart I got:

1 pair Liz Claiborne Black Patent pumps to replace my poor old dress shoes that were both split across the bottoms exposing the insoles. Yea, they were sad.

Clearance Price: $49.94

Extra 50% off: $24.97

Minus $19.50 on GC

Total OOP with tax: $6.97

I came in 92 cents under budget for the clothes. :)
