Show Me The Meat!

Just took all three of the kids, plus Grandma (thank God!) and went to Safeway. There was an unadvertised meat sale going on! So here is what we got:

Beef Bottom Round Roast 2.56 lbs NORMALLY $11.49 ($4.49/ lb) ON SALE FOR $1.99/lb which means I got it for $5.09!

And I got another roast that would have been $12.53 but I got it for $5.55!

Hillshire Farms Smoked Sausage was BOGO and I had a $1 manufacturer's coupon! Two for $2.99 (less than the price of one: $3.99)

All total, I spent $14.63 on loads of meat...I love Safeway!

I saved 51% off of the total bill by shopping the sales and using my manufacturer's coupons.

I LOVE SAVING MONEY!!!!

And tonight, I put one of those slabs of premium beef (Rancher's Reserve) in my crockpot and let it cook. Tender, melt-in-your-mouth roast...effortless! Throw a package of onion soup mix (mine was generic) and a side of mashed potatoes...yummm!

Wow! Your goal for your grocery bill this month is impressive. I usually spend between $350-$400 for a family of 6. How do you get so low?
I live a rural area so it is hard for me to shop in a variety of stores. I have Wal-mart, Kroger and Save-A-Lot to choose from. I rarely buy meat because my husband is a hunter and we eat that. Still I have a hard time keeping our grocery bill under $100 a week. I must also mention I am feeding 3 growing boys. One who can eat more than me. Maybe that has something to do with it! :)

Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving me a comment!

Do you know any sites that list great stores like Safeway regionally? Wal-Mart groceries aren't always the best deal, and Kroger's is hit and miss with sales. And I don't care for Save-A-Lot. Maybe I should join Sam's Club?
