June 14 Shoprite, 4 packages Jone's breakfast sausage (no deal, trying to eat more protein) Great deal on eggs though.  Should have been get 2.5 dozen (30 eggs) for $1.77   They apparantly didn't have these packages, so they changed it to get 2 eighteen packs for same prices.  6 more eggs! Dannon Greek crunch yogurt (FREE!) Could do the deal 4 times (I only did it three) so it was like getting another 18 eggs for free!  3 packages shredded cheese, 2 containers of grated cheese, fruit for DH and I wanted to try some of the store made bagel chips.  43.41

No shopping the week of recital.  Then we went to the Music for All Event/Anniversary Trip Combo in PA.  We planned on doing some grocery shopping down there, and we spent 31.94 at Intercourse Canning (used a $5 coupon AND had enough can punches to get a free jar!), Kauffman's Farm Market (two trips) 23.48 and 57.98.  Final stop (and reason we brought a HUGE cooler) Stolfus Meats $70.20.

$601.26 However, most of this food is definitely going into July, so I am NOT upset.  Also, some of the PA purchases actually saved us from going OUT to eat, but I'm not going to get too crazy trying to do that math.

All in all, I would say $50 of the meat from PA, $25 of the canned goods, 4 eighteen count eggs, 9 pack of Thomas, One loaf of bread, all the lobster, half the snapple, mayo, some yogurts, one package of sausage, ALL OF THE HOTDOGS, are still not eaten.  That looks like over $150 worth of food if not more going into July.

I am pleased.
