I apologize for the late posting this week! I usually like to have this go up early Saturday morning so that my Kansas City friends can scope out the deals prior to hitting the stores themselves, but I had to go this morning. Why? Because Hy-Vee is having an amazing 6 hour sale that started at 8am this morning! I do believe this was my biggest shopping and savings trip to Hy-Vee yet...
Sorry the table is a big jumbled mess! I wasn't even sure it would all fit, so I wasn't overly concerned with display. Oh and I have to give credit to Nick for the tower on the table (he and Chase were crouched behind it in the picture). Everything you see here cost me just $86.80, but wait until you see what it retails for!

For those new to my blog - Saturday Savings is my weekly chronicling of my journey to spend just $310 a month on our family groceries, toiletries, paper products and cleaning supplies. With just an hour or so of coupon clipping and research a week and some quick shopping on the weekend, I almost always meet my goal (or come under, as I did last month by $15!).

Wow! that is amazing savings!
I have left you something over at my blog!
So when you are under budget like last month do you let the overage roll to the next month or do you save it?
Great week! I wish we had Hy-vee.
Great question CJ!
I actually have never rolled the surplus over to the next month. Although, I'm willing to be if come the end of this month I really want that $15 to go towards an awesome stock up opportunity Nick (the budget master) would be cool with it.
Ugh! I'm so bad! I haven't gone through my coupons in 2 weeks. I've been piecing together shopping trips and I feel horrible. I have to get back to my organized and "saving" self. And FAST!
Way to go on the sales, H! You're a force to be reckoned with!
Wow, great deal. Here we didn't use coupons, I don't know why.
Enjoy your weekend.
Wow, that is amazing, I wish my grocery bills looked like that. :) Your boys are simply adorable! :)
