Wheew! I've done more grocery shopping in the last two days than I have in weeks! At least I've snagged some great deals and am stocking my freezer back up. It was getting pretty empty in the meat category.Today I stopped at three different stores for all these groceries. Grand total for all of it......$53.85!
Not bad since I only used one manufacturers coupon at Safeway. I had planned on buying some Mission corn tortillas and bringing my total lower, but they were out so I substituted with some clearance items.

Honestly, I am hoping I can make my grocery money stretch through July (today's purchases came out of July's cash budget since I work Wednesday and we leave Thursday for the beach).
I've needed to stock up on a lot of items plus we have a big BBQ planned for ~20 people this month. Also, my husband hasn't been as strict on his diet and has been drinking beer again. That takes a huge chunk when you are looking at such a limited budget. I used to have a separate alcohol budget each month so I may go back to that again. What do you guys think?

where did you get the $10 off $50 safeway coupon?
It's on the back page of the Food Day section in the Oregonian today.

I saved the santa cruz pdf to my desktop because I figured that I wouldn't be able to find the blog that I got it from later if I wanted to print it another day . .
C and G...could you post the pdf link for those who read the blog? I tried to get the SC coupon right after it was posted a week or so ago but was still too late.
Hey Erika- I've been waiting for this $10 off $50 to stock up too. I'll be going today. Thanks for the tips! Will you be at Bill and Diana's on the 4th? Bev
Hi Kelley -
I saved it as an adobe file so I don't know how to get a pdf link off of that but i'm going to e-mail it to you right now and maybe you can figure out how to post it???

Beer is to expensive, I would save the money and not get it.
haha. Just tell him - no beer for you! That's funny. I don't think MY husband would go for that - would your's Erika?
:)
I'd say "Sorry Babes, No Beer for you!" too :-) Yeah, you'd probably just have to budget that like you would anything else!
Bev - no, we won't be there this weekend, we'll be at the beach. It's fishing season and Mark's not doing anything else on his time off. He's obsessed!
Yes, I don't think my husband would go for no beer either, ha ha! I wouldn't either if I wasn't pregnant. I miss it! :) I think we'll have to reinstate our alcohol budget... Especially now that it's summer and we are having a lot of BBQ's and impromptu get-to-gether's at our house.

Bummer- we'll miss you. Hope to see you soon! I'm excited to meet your new baby girl!
