Things never go as planned!

So I just roll with it, or really bounce along begrudgingly
Jared scheduled has been pretty hectic. He leaves here a little after 5am and is not home until about 5pm. Then leaves for Jui Jitsu close to 6, he has been going every night since getting his second stripe so I have had no time to go grocery shopping.
So last night I did a little shopping at Safeway...at 10pm, which made it nice and quiet! I don't normally do our major shopping there because I can get it cheaper else where. Our main stop is usually the commissary but I would like to add Grocery Outlet in again and maybe Winco, just to cut costs again.
I went in to Safeway with $100 in cash and was only planning on getting a day or 2 worth of food.
UNTIL.....I saw some deals, but Im still new at this so I probably could have found better else where.
I managed to spend %81.20. I paired what I had at home with the deals and got at LEAST 6 dinners. Some breakfast stuff and a snack. There are still some things we need but they can wait until next week.
