Groceries for the next two weeks

This past weekend I went grocery shopping for the next two weeks. Brent wanted to come, so it was a family event, now i think i would do better without them there, but really I didnt do too bad, he didnt put too many new things into the cart. Also i didnt have as much time as i would like to come up with a meal plan and check my coupons, but it still worked out. I spent ....drumroll please......$91.82 dollars!! for two weeks! i just forgot and bought later 2 cans of tuna and 2 cans of cream of mushroom soup mix. otherwise that is it!! and those things arent that spendy either. my biggest expense that wasnt really calculated was these honeycrisp apples that brent wanted. i was goign to get apples but not these expensive ones. All well. We have tried a few new things this week, and are doing better at eating at home instead of eating out to save money. I made my moms recipe of cream potatoes last night, they were delish!! we have also had chicken stir fry and a beef roast with coke in the crock pot. anyway that is my grocery challenge update...is anyone else trying to budget better for groceries? how are you doing?? any tips?
