Last Minute Shopping

I was checking out my monthly budget and realized I was about $40 under budget for the month... and it's the last day of the month! So I went out with the intentions of buying meat and produce - the things you can't really find coupons for! This is what I ended up getting - those things and a few other things I was running low on.

Food Lion:

Ground beef - $6.94
($1.78/lb)

Marcal paper towels (x8)
RP $1.19. SP $1.00. Minus $1.00 coupon. FP - Free

Marcal toilet paper (4-pack) (x2)
RP $1.49. SP $1.25. Minus $1.00 coupon. FP - $0.25

Final shopping total - $25.40
OOP - $8.29
Saved - $17.11 (about 67%)

Armour pepperoni - $2.00
(saved $1.75)

Great Value coffee sweetener - $2.64 (saved $0.36)
