So I spent $58.35 to purchase $310.53 worth of groceries including lots of snacks and personal products for an overall savings of 81.21%.  I have went way over budget but gotten a lot of things in return like movie tickets from last week and the deals have been just too good!  As you can see I was able to "roll" catalinas at Meijer which helped a lot.
