Big Lots
I was able to get things we use regularly cheaper than or as cheap as I normally get them with sales and coupons using my 20% BuzzClub coupon. The cheapest I can get the bread at Kroger is $2 a loaf so both loaves were great deals.

Natures Own Organic 20 Grain Bread Reg. $1.70 minus 20% =$1.36

Nature's Own 10o% Whole Wheat Bread Reg. $1.20 minus 20%= 96 cents

2 Best Foods Mayo Reg. $6($3 each) minus 20%=$4.80

All Free Clear detergent Reg. $3.49 minus 20%=$2.79

Total with tax: $10.08

I had $18.33 left in the budget for this week. Today's total was $15.78 so I came in $2.55 under budget.
