    I bought

    1~ 24 pack northern tp
    3~ frozen pizzas
    7~ 5 lb pack of ground chuck
    2~ cans of bushs new style of bbq beans
    12~ lbs of chicken patties
    2~ lbs of deli ham
    12~ packages of Abbyland bratwurst(1 lb package)
    4~packages of lunchables
    3~ pound of summer sausage
    4~ packages of smoked bratwurst(1 lb package)
    2~ huge hams
    9~ lbs of boneless, skinless chicken breasts
    6~ ears of sweet corn
    1~ ketchup
    5~ lbs potatos
    5~ 1/2 gallons of chocolate milk
    1~ lb baby carrots
    1~ jar of ragu

    Total~ $133.13

    That is a lot of meat!The freezer is packed

    I haven't seen a sale like that in ages either! It was a one day customer appreciation day. If I had a bigger freezer I would have bought more.

    It's always worth going over budget on groceries when the stores have great sales and you would eventually buy the stuff anyway!

    Thumbs up Awesome

    If you paid 133 for just the meats that's about 1.98 a pound, so with the other stuff it's even less!

    Great job! There's nothing wrong with going over budget once in a while when it's worth it. You can always cut corner's somewhere else!
