Weekly Grocery Savings

I did pretty well this week with my best savings at Target. As you will see below, my savings was almost equal to my OPP. I have a pretty good stockpile built and plan to shop from it in the coming weeks to help keep my weekly grocery budget down. My first goal is to get down to $60.00 per week. I have 3 growing kids so we will see how that goes. Here is my breakdown for this week:

Target -

4 cans black beans (.74 each), 2 cans tuna in water (.67 each), 2 wheat bread (1.29, 1.52), paper plates (1.99), Fiber One Bars (2.29), 3 cans soup (1.27), 2 packs unsweetened applesauce (1.57 ea), 1 can Dole pineapple (1.09) = $21.18 including tax

(took two pics to make sure you could see everything so some overlaps)
