Even with the leftovers from Thanksgiving, we still needed to get groceries for this week.  To be a little honest with you, I'm getting tired of turkey leftovers.  Here's my dinner plans for the week:

Chicken Quesadillas Lasagna http://www.giggleboxblog.com/2014/04/french-bread-pizza.html French Bread Pizza Pork Chops Chicken Patties Nothing Planned Nothing Planned

Several of the meals planned, we already have most of the items for.  Here's the lists I had to work with for Walmart and Wegmans:

Walmart
Wegmans
Item
Prices
Item
Prices
loaf of honey wheat bread $1.74 gallon whole milk $2.69
hamburger buns $1.28 pop tarts $2.19
loaf of French bread $1.00 OJ $4.69
corn $0.98 tortilla shells $1.49
pizza sauce $0.98 pepperoni $2.39 on sale for $1.99
green beans $0.68 onion $0.51
rinse aid $6.68
chicken broth $0.99
dishwasher detergent $2.98
yogurt $4.78
10 2L of Pepsi $1.48 on sale for $1.00 x 10 = $10.00
Walmart Total = $32.22 Wegmans Total = $14.01

Everything in green was not on the list.  I decided since we had the money and Pepsi 2Ls were at a pretty good price, I would stock up for Christmas.  I also realized that I needed to cook some chicken breasts while I was at Wegmans so bought some broth, but completely forgot to purchase some salsa for the quesadillas.  I had a carry over of 26.72 which brings this week's budget to $76.72.  The total spent was $46.23, under budget yet again by $30.49!  I also earned $0.25 through Ibotta with my wheat bread purchase.
