Grocery Store Roll Call Catch up 03/05 & 03/12

Alas I still have not found my USB cord for my camera so I may have to break down and get a new one.  So I apologize that this is going to be a very boring pictureless post. I am still tracking my spending/saving great I just haven't posted it and thought it was time I catch up. 

The last update I did was for week ending 02/19.  The following week I made one small trip to CVS.  All of that was included in my February summary I posted at the beginning of the month.

My transactions for week end 03/05 were:
