What, you don’t get this excited to save money at the grocery store? 
I used some of the items from my bounty to create a light & luscious late breakfast, of a Raspberry Greek Yogurt Parfait.
That’s one Raspberry Chobani Greek Yogurt, topped with Life Cereal and a smattering of blackberries.
Unreal!
Creamy yogurt, crunchy-sweet cereal and juicy berries. What more could you ask for.
Mmm, crunch, slurp!
I have family in from out of town today, so I’m going to get some stuff done around the house, then head on over to my parent’s house to catch up!
Have a great afternoon! 
All that for under $50!!? Cripes, bargains!
Always jealous at your bargain shopping! For that amount I would probably walk away with a 1/3 as much
I enjoy your grocery store posts and am always in awe of your ability to get to the store weekly and buy things that you’re actually going to make throughout the week. Plus save money!
It’s a skill or a sense of motivation that I’m seriously lacking. Hoping your skills and motivation will rub off on me!
Not just under $50 but under $45! I am incredibly impressed & a little jealous! Have a great day . . . can’t wait to see what you make with those groceries this week!
So jealous! We just dropped $130 at Trader Joe’s this morning – completely worth it though! Ha!
Impressive! I love finding bargains at the grocery store. I should learn to shop more by what’s on sale than by what I deem my weekly “staples” are. I would probably eat a better variety and learn to cook new foods at the same time
so jealous of how cheap your groceries are.
I get excited too because people say eating healthy is expensive and I want to prove them wrong. Although they would have to look at my bank account to know that but still it feels good to save a few bucks.
Ha! It’s crazy to see the price differences in our areas. I bought about this same amount at the store (No bogo) and it came to $106. And, actually, I didn’t have to buy any meat this week. Riddle me that!!
I also hit up that BOGO offer on Earthgrain’s bread!
Mmm…those blackberries look so plump and perfect!
I cannot believe what you can buy for under $50. I don’t think I’d have a shot at that no matter how many coupons I clipped. Way to score a bargain!
I always enjoy your grocery store post and I understand your excitement! I’m a big coupon clipper and also read the ads to save as much as possible. A few weeks ago I saved over $20 with coupons, it was one of my most proud moments.
wow, I need to take some lessons from you!!! I thought I was a good bargain finder but that’s a ton of food. It’s not too $$$ to eat healthy!
I love seeing your grocery shopping bounty! How great to come in under budget!
Great Job!!! I am proud of you and I am not even your mom!
That is an amazing bounty for under $50! Yes, I love it when I can save, save, save money! I have started shopping at Whole Paycheck (I mean Whole Foods) earlier this year when I switched to organic and it is tough! I have a very limited food budget and it’s hard. You have to love summer though-all of the produce is not only fresh but inexpensive! I get pretty excited too seeing the beautiful colors every time I open the refrigerator!
I think we are going to see a lot of good pics on your blog this week with that bounty. Did you enter the Food Network Blog contest? I hope so. I think you do a great job on this blog.
wow well done on the grocerie shop for under $50!!
I get that excited about that kind of grocery shop, too! I love BOGO sales and when there are coupons on things I use. It goes to show that planning and shopping around really can help! I spent way too much at the grocery store this week.
Those are some impressive shopping skills!
I want blackberries now.
I am most impressed. I spent close to $100 on ingredients for one meal this week! Granted, I was having a party, but still! Your bounty will last a lot longer, I’m sure!
I love Hy-Vee! Last week we got loot like that and saved over $13 with the Hot Deals coupons. Heading over now to see what we can score.
Those blackberries look fantastic!!! I wish I had some!
i am so excited to go to school in the south because they have earthgrain bread
You always make it look (and sound delicious)
What an awesome array of shopping goods!! LOVE IT!
I am blown away by your grocery bills. If I came home with a bill under $50, I think my husband would assume something was wrong with me. LoL
I tried your method again and I’m now under $100. Better than the $160 from last year. I need to hit the Farmer’s Market to save some money, but I keep working on Saturdays and Sundays. For now, I’m getting better. Bummer was that King Sooper didn’t even had Almond Butter! Can you send me some of your stash?! LOL!
I am craving a good shopping trip like a bad habit right now. Too bad I leave to go to out of town Tuesday, otherwise I totally would. Cant wait to see the amazing things you cook up with all of that
Looks like a great haul! I love having cupboards freshly stocked with a good grocery shop!
