1 Bottle of real Orange Juice, Calcium enriched $3.00
1 Pound Butter $3.50
16 Oz Sour Cream $2.00
1 Quart Buttermilk $1.75
2 Dozen Eggs $4.00
 Pork Loin $10.00
2 Pounds Ground Beef $7.00
4 Boneless Chicken Breasts $6.00
Italian Sausage Links $3.75
Rice $3.00
2 Pounds Spaghetti $3.00
2 Boxes of Cereal $6.00
12 Wheat Hamburger Buns $3.00
2 Loaves Nature's Own Bread $5.00
1 Boxed Brownie Mix $1.50

Sweet Potatoes $3.00
1 Pound Green Beans $2.50
1 Large Bag Carrots $1.75
1 Quart Strawberries $3.00
4 Baking Potatoes $3.50
4 Bananas $2

This week the bill totals just around $100.  For potatoes, if you prefer smaller baked potatoes, get a bag of Russets and you will have some to work with later in the week.  You can always substitute them for rice when you eat pork loin a 2nd night.  You can also make home fries to go with the Egg Salad Sandwiches. 
I would love to hear some feed back if you are trying this type of shopping and cooking.  You can leave a comment without signing in now.
