I am so happy to share with you all my $40 Grocery Challenge this week. This week turned out to be one sweet week of savings for me! Here is what I got for $51. Now, keep in mind that my total is more this week because I went ahead and got the $50 BP gas card. I like to cut corners wherever possible, and with Keith out of work this gas card is very helpful to us!

 Plus, I will be getting back $20 for the Olay Rebate (when you buy $50 worth of  Olay Cleansers-ends tomorrow or I would have posted about it before now) So, after all is said and done, I will have paid $31 OOP for a $50 Gas card, and everything that you see pictured! Overall, I SAVED $171.55!! Oh, and I also had a $20 Discover Gift Card to use towards my $51 OOP expenses!
