Went grocery shopping today. My Sister-in-law, Toni, went with me to Sam's so I could use her membership for some essentials. I got a lb of salad greens, 5 lbs frozen green beans, a 3 lb beef roast, 3 lbs almonds, 5 lbs mozzarella, 5 lbs chopped broccoli, 2 lbs of shrimp and a quart of heavy cream. Here's why I love Sam's. By getting these products at Sam's, I saved $60. Yes. $60. $26 of that was in almonds, which I priced at $6 a half lb at WalMart after picking up the Sam's 3 lb bag for $10.  Another $10 saved was in the cheese. At $2.00 a pound, I got it for half the price of any of this week's grocery deals.

After that I went to Wal-Mart for the rest of my groceries- including peppers and zucchini, chicken breast, bacon, low carb tortillas and snacks. I got vienna sausages (eww) for Quinn, as well as a jar of green olives (yes, he snacks on those kinda things) sugar free werthers and reeses, and sugar free jello.

From there, I came home and made dinner for Quinn, who came home from work after 3 hours because he was sick. I made a monster pizza that we only managed to eat half of, then my brother Aaron picked up the other half on his way home from work so it wouldn't tempt us tomorrow.

After dinner I put Gavin to bed then Quinn stayed home while I ran to Target for diapers (GREAT deal there. My sister in law, Becca, gave me half a box of the Target brand to try side-by-side with my highly favored Huggies. While I won't say they're equivalent, the Target Brand does do a pretty darn good job, and the price difference is phenomenal. Size threes are  $14.70 for a box of 96 vs $19.80 for a box of 72.) and a bathroom scale. While I was there, I checked on Atkins protein bars and found that they had their 19g bars on sale for about 75cents apiece, so I got two boxes of 5.

I think we're set, and I stayed very close to grocery budget....I'm pleased.
