So i'm actually done all my shopping for this week already. We did a Costco run and then got some produce and deli meat. Spent way over my 2 week budget, but it was our last Costco run until January, so we shouldn't be going over our budget again any time soon. Here are some of the deals:
The best deal of the week was by far the Cadbury Chocolate Bars at Save On Foods. If you managed to score the in-store tearpad (save $5 WUB 5 Kraft products) you would have gotten these full size chocolate bars for $0.25 cents a piece + tax, as they were on sale for $1.25 each and included in the promotion. Another great deal and NO manufacturer coupons were needed.

Week 41: October 7-13 ($2000 in coupon savings!)
Well its 10 weeks will Christmas and 12 weeks till the end of the year. I finally reached $2000 in coupon savings...my goal was to spend no more than $5200 on groceries and save around $2500 using coupons...and by looking at the numbers I think in the next 2.5 months I can definitely reach that goal.
I had an amazing Thanksgiving weekend, we hosted and invited my parents and in-laws and my brother and his girlfriend came as well. It was nice to cook and spend time with everyone and share a meal. The turkey was huge so I have been busy this week in the kitchen making turkey soup and freezing it. We'll be eating lots of soup this winter which is hearty, healthy and cheap!
This week proved to be EXCEPTIONAL for deals. Scroll down to see what I got!

Weeks 39 & 40: Sept 23-Oct 6
So I have definitely been slacking on the blogging front these days. Not feeling very well these past few weeks. My pile of receipts has been growing rapidly so I figured I better sort through them and get on here before I forget and leave something out.
Mail has been great lately. Lots of samples, my Kraft Sampilicious package and quite a few trains. Mail tends to slow after Thanksgiving as we round the corner and head into Christmas, so I am very glad to be getting lots of mail these days.
