Overall I think it was a good trip, I should of kept better track of the spending so I didn't go so over--but it is hectic shopping with two kids who are trying to run all over the store!! =)  

Also, I think it's safe to say our next few months of grocery bills should be VERY LOW since we are well stocked up on meat and essentials--really we'll only be needing milk, fruit, veggies, and bread for a long time!!--but, we do have 20 more coupons coming in the mail and I plan on using that to buy sugar, flour, oil and a few other things so we will be good on those items for a while...plus, I feel good about getting to donate to different organizations and people in need as we have never really donated much before!!
