Just wondering what kinds of things your adding and the deals you got. I think it will help me with my price book as well. Here's mine:
- 4 jars of peanut butter @ $1 a jar
-12 bars of soap @ $0.98 for a 6pk.
-4 large cans of pea soup @ 0.99 each
I still need to add:
-6 tubes of toothpaste hopefully for under 0.40 each
- and TP

I'm going to add dry beans. I still have a little money left for my grocery challenge this month and that seems the most logical. I'll post what I get for my $9. Oh- and I still have my Trader Joe's gift card to use. May stock up on toothpaste and coffee there.
My store had boneless chicken breast for 1.49/lb. I bought 3 large packages, came home, divided it, cut off the fat and froze it. With the fat, I made 6 pts of broth. I had my coupons ready for Walgreens.. drove across town, and they didn't have their coupon items! Think twice before going there again!

Spent the other $50.00 for groceries for this weekend, pop, 4 cloth bags, oil lamp ( and oil and extra wicks), and some survival stuff (sterno, water tablets)
