Time for the Monday grocery update!

Yesterday I got two bottles of Powerade for the hubby and two bottles of Dial hand soap for free. Schepp's milk was on sale in the half-gallon containers for $1.00 each, and I had a coupon to get a dollar off of three of them, so I got a gallon and a half of milk for $2.00. The going rate for a single gallon here is $2.25. Yogurt is still on sale, so I picked up a bunch of Yoplait for .37 each as well. Overall, I spent $32.62 on groceries this week, and saved $22.30, or 40.6%. Since starting TheGroceryGame.com I've $1314.08, or 45.23%.

By the way, this is the first week in a while that our entire grocery bill has been under $40. Hubby and I decided not to buy cheese this week since it isn't on sale. We're out of cheddar and mozzarella, but it's about $4/lb unless I go to Sam's. But then I'd have to buy five pounds of each and spend around $30, which is a lot to spend on cheese at one time. So we're going cheese-free this week. Hubby may not survive.
