Okay, I know I said I wasn’t going to do Triples at Kroger, but since I didn’t find anything else as good a deal, I ended up doing 2 quick trips, and one on Monday to Publix. Even with three grocery trips I still came out under $40! So, you know the last two weeks where I went over my weekly budget? Well if you add up the last three weeks plus this weekend, I am only $14 over my original $40/week budget. I budgeted $60 for two weeks during September, so I actually came in under by $26!! I will call that a gain and go with it.
What is Weekly Wrap-Up?
Weekly Wrap-Up is a post I do every Saturday to show you what I got this week for $40 for my family of four. My $40 a week budget includes all food, toiletries and cleaning supplies, it does not include eating out. (I do not include diapers and coffee in this budget, it is separate!)
Total Groceries OOP: $32.01!! Woohoo!
What great deals did you find this week? Be sure to post your trips and include links to your blog if you took an inventory or pictures.

That’s awesome!! It’s so great to be able to get FREE stuff to donate!
Just for fun, last Friday, I rounded up every 75 cent coupon I could find, and went out to play at Kroger (triples). Got several items for free, lots for mere pennies. Such fun !
Great job! No Kroger here, but I do get double coupons at Publix.
Where do you go to donate your food? I’ve come across some canned/boxed items to donate, but I have no clue where to take them (other than the occasional donation bins outside of grocery stores). I’m also in the Nashville area.
Katie- A couple of place to donate are:
Second Harvest
Hope Center for Women (Rescue Mission)
GraceWorks (Franklin)
Sudanese Center
Local Food Pantries (I think Otter Creek has one!)
Anyone else have ideas?
