Wednesday Weeklies (A DAY EARLY! - AGAIN!)

Trying something a little bit different.  I went ahead and listed everything I thought was a GOOD-GREAT deal, and my coupon match ups.  This took twice as long, however, I have everything set for Saturday.  Tim gets paid on Friday, so most of the shopping will be done Friday-Saturday.  Let me know if you guys like this better.  It takes longer, but everything is set for me - so I think it's a win-win.  Highligthed items are what I "plan" to get.  My estimated total before coupons (and after club card savings) = $113 - $26.99 (in coupons) = $86.01 estimated cost.  This is a little "high" for a weekly trip.  My goal is to spend about $50 a week at the grocery store.  The closest I've really gotten is about $60, which is not bad for a family of 4 (and one on the way).  Of course, I'll be scouring for other coupons.  AND since I am not going out until Saturday, I am hoping to snag some more coupons out of the early paper.  If you are a "couponer,"  I highly recommend buying the early paper edition (for the coupons) and/or buying an extra Sunday paper for the coupons when the inserts are good.
