I am still amazed with your savings %. I'm averaging only 25% with coupons and store sales/store card savings. I will generally have $10-15 in coupons, but still am spending $80-100 per 7-10 days. I was really hoping to stay around $60-70 per week. I'm working on meatless meals, but it's the only protein we get on a given day.
