Pot Roast Sloppy Joe's Spaghetti Grilled Pork Chops http://www.giggleboxblog.com/2014/06/thick-crust-pizza.htmlPizza Eating Out Left Overs

The only reason I'm able to work a weekly budget of $50.00 is because I try to keep a good amount of meat in our upright freezer.  With that being said, we already had all the meat necessary for the dinners this week.  I did notice that our pork chop supply was running low so, I added that to our list of things to buy.  Here's the lists for the stores I go to (Wal*Mart and Wegmans):

Walmart
Wegmans
Item
Prices
Item
Prices
honey wheat bread $1.84 pepperoni $2.39
hamburger buns $1.28 marinade $1.29 on sale for $0.79
Disney cheese $2.17 family pk pork chops $9.54
pizza style cheese $2.47 bananas $1.23
pizza sauce $0.98 potatoes $1.85
Manwich $1.00 onion $0.36
beef broth $1.34 baby carrots $1.29
deodorant $3.97 pizza dough $2.49
distilled water $0.88
2L Dr Pepper $1.48 on sale for $1.00
2L Pepsi $1.48 on sale for $1.00
Walmart Total = $18.52 Wegmans Total = $20.45

When I got home, I scanned my receipt to the Walmart Savings Catcher app and got back $0.41.  I also earned $0.50 for the bread and $0.50 for the carrot purchases through Ibotta.  The grand total spent on groceries for the week was $38.97 which made us under budget by $11.03.  That will work out great because we are starting to run low on hamburger meat.
