All together, I didn't do too poorly. Having $120 to work with for all my shopping and spending for the week, I spent more than I wanted, but I suppose the whole thing is supposed to be a learning experience. I spent $85 of my $120. The breakdown is as follows.
Target - $10 on Soda (will last me all month)
Aldi's - $45 on basics This seems really high to me for what I bought. Without too many details, I bought approximately the following.
6 canned goods
2 eggs
Coffee
Potatoes
Misc fruits
2 frozen veggies
Flour
Shop and Save - $20 (After about $12 in coupons, $8 in previous purchase rebates, and $10 left over on my gift card). My total before all that was $50. I suppose $85 isn't bad for a week's worth of groceries, but I want to find a way to get it down some more.

You go girl!!! I'm amazed (I shouldn't be - it's so you! - but I am), at your process and your success! I've found myself going to opposite way, not paying much attention at all. Not sure if I could go to the "Extreme" (in a good way) that you are, but maybe somewhere in between? I'm sure I'd see an effect in our grocery bills. We need to get together. I'll check my calendar.
