Weekly Totals: Grocery expenses for the last week
Every once in a while, I think it's good to post my grocery totals for the week so folks can see where I am shopping and what I am saving. Here are my totals for the week that included 5/15 - 5/21. Feel free to share your weekly totals as well!

Last week I went to the store more times than I normally do in a week, but we kept running out of milk and there were some really good buys at Harris Teeter so I made a second trip before the sale ended. I usually don't hit all 3 drug stores in the same week either, but I had the Rite Aid +UP from a prescription transfer that needed to be used before it expired and again, we kept running out of milk.
