Last Saturday I posted my goals for shopping: $60 per week averaged over the two week pay period for Hubby (This is for 6 people). I did it last week with $2 to spare. Here's how we are faring this time. We are just finishing the first week of the payperiod.
Here are some of the great deals from this week:

Wow, you sure got the buys! I wish we could use Charmin. (It tends to clog up in my pipes for some reason). That was some deal!
Great deals you got there!
I'm newly trying to make a big difference in our spending, so reading blogs of others doing the same is really helping! Of course I clicked your blog from Money Saving Mom. Nice to "meet" you!
It's nice to "meet" both of you.

Wow that is very inspiring! Thanks for sharing!
Wow, you did awesome!! I too am a family of 6--our budget is still at 100.00--hope to lower it soon! But with gas prices affecting food prices it seems even more difficult!
