This was a pretty light shopping week. I only ran the Jewel Catalina deal one more time, giving me a grand total of six trips during the sale. I ended up saving about $170 and paying about $37. Not exactly blackbelt level frugal, but fabulous for me considering I messed up the deal once. I also still have $25 in Catalinas to use in the next 10 days. Those will probably go toward Thanksgiving meal items.
Dominick's:
dozen donuts, large cheese pizza
Total: $10.15
Saved: $3.50
Jewel:
1 5lb bag of flour, 2 13oz boxes of potato buds (potato flakes I'll use in bread), 2 jars peanut butter, 6 cans of soup, 2 boxes of cake mix
Total: $4.04
Saved: $29.70
Aldi:
1 bag of meatballs, 5 8oz blocks of cream cheese (on sale for $.79 each), jar of sprinkles, 2lb brown sugar

Halfway through November, we're $36 under budget, have $25 to spend next week with no impact on our budget, and have tons of soup to eat when sick or in need of a fast lunch. I also have 13 cartons of broth to use in recipes or making homemade soup, and 40 lb of flour to make our bread and Christmas cookies with.
