Week of 4/10 Totals

I was able to do a lot of shopping this week! Remember, Lowe's Foods & Harris Teeter always double coupons up to .99 value. I had Friday morning to hit all the stores I needed- it's so helpful to have a few hours to get everywhere. We also followed our meal plan this week! All in all, it was a good week. Hopefully next week I'll be reporting that we are home owners.... fingers crossed....
