Super Savings Saturday 4/9

This week was our big stock-up week. We have unexpected guests this weekend (which I am SO excited about!!), so we definitely needed to get some groceries. I figure I'll go shopping once more in April, probably over my Easter break, but this is the bulk of what we need for the rest of the month.

Shopping only one more time sounds great - I despise shopping!

I have to say - food prices are really on the rise! Just this week, I noticed higher prices on: yogurt, OJ concentrate, shredded cheese, chunk cheese, tortilla chips, and ground beef! That's all the more reason to watch what I spend very carefully and use coupons when possible!
