After making the dinner plan for the week, I went through and figured out what I needed for a grocery list for Walmart and Wegmans.  Since I'm making a recipe that I haven't done in awhile, I had forgotten to actually look to see what I needed.  I actually forgot to purchase a few items and had to get them earlier today.  Look for a post about the Creamy Chicken & Noodles later this week.

Wal-Mart.com USA, LLC

Prices
Item

loaf of French bread $1.00 OJ $4.69
loaf of sliced wheat bread $1.74 marinade packet $1.29
steam corn $0.98 extra wide egg noodles $1.79

American cheese slices $3.47 peanut butter $2.49
cream of chicken $1.25 sliced mushrooms $2.00
gallon distilled water $0.88 head of lettuce $0.99
Walmart Total = $11.95 Wegmans Total = $14.60

As you can see, I did fairly well at both stores and only spent a grand total of $26.55.  Well under budget which will come in handy for next week.  We were under by $23.45.  I received $1.48 for the American cheese and $0.26 for the cream of chicken through the Walmart Savings Catcher app.  I earned $0.20 for the steam corn, $0.20 for the lettuce, $0.20 for the spaghetti noddles, and $0.20 for the mushrooms through Ibotta.
