Grocery shopping trip

Ok, so I went over at my first store, but my goal was to to stay at $125 for the week no matter how it ended up at each store. I didn't have enough Scrips for Trigs, but plenty for IGA. I also learned that no matter what, if it is not on sale and on my list, I don't buy it at Trigs... the price difference between it and IGA add up, and I also found things on my list on sale at IGA that were not advertised, like the sandwich flats and yogurt. Someday I will figure this all out! Next week I will overbuy the Scrips, but still stay in my total budget.
