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!
