Shopping trip #2

So my shopping trip was not exactly how I planned original but it worked. Orginally I was going to try to only spend so much in certain areas but do to a busy schedule I skipped that thought.
So here is how my shopping went

TOP FOODS
15 cans S&W beans (for chili)
2 lbs of yellow onions
1 box pancake mix (for homemade waffles for the freezer)
6 bottle of sports drinks
4 packs of tic tacs
2 packs au jus mix
1 gallon of milk
10 lbs of potatoes
2 lbs of brown sugar
5 lbs of flour
TOTAL--$25.92 (SAVINGS-$27.67--51% savings)

SAFEWAY--
6 32oz bottles of apples juice
8 candy bars
10 yoplait yogurts
4 campbells chicken noodle soup
4 campbells tomato soup
1 campbell cream of celery soup
1 container of corn starch
2 premade pizza dough balls
2 lb brick of cheese
1 1/2 dozen eggs
T0TAL--$29.42 (SAVINGS-33.25--53% savings)

RITE AID
2 packs cough drops
1 pack wipes
16 4 pack of toilet paper (regular rolls)
TOTAL--$5.46 (SAVINGS--$24.17--82%)

TOTAL SPENT--$60.80 (SAVINGS $85.09--58%)

Okay, so I went over my $50 by $10.80 and my saving was lower than I wish. This really shows me why better planning is key to making this work. First of all my menu was not done BEFORE I went shopping so I just kind of bought what I THOUGHT we might need, not good. Lesson learned. Thanks goodness I am new at this, I guess all I can say that practice, practice, and more practice will help me.
