Grocery Shopping Sunday, 6/7/09

Actually, this felt like grocery shopping week as I tried to learn how to successfully navigate the sales while using coupons so I can stretch our $500 we are alloted this month as part of our No Spending Challenge. I wasn't as successful as I would have liked. Let's just say grocery savings for me is a work in progress.
