Got:

.62 lbs of Millstone coffee – regularly $5.57, used one $1 coupon good on any half pound or more of Millstone coffee, which I found in the aisle next to the product a while ago. The coupon also doubled, making my final cost $4.07.
1 gallon of milk – price: $1.99.
2 pack of Olay makeup removers – it was cheaper to buy these in a bundled pack than individually, so I went ahead and stocked up. Price: $11.99.
Package of chicken breasts – originally $2.61, on clearance for 30% off – final price: $1.84. (This actually rang up .02 cents higher than marked – I don’t know why, but it wasn’t worth my time to go back over two cents!)
Another package of chicken breasts – originally $2.55, on clearance for 30% off – final price: $1.77.
1 Sunday paper – I didn’t get a chance to buy a paper on Sunday, but I noticed there were still some left on the newsstand on my way out, so I stopped and went back through the checkout to buy one! Price: $2.50.

I also made a quick run today to get a 2-lb bag of cheese and half gallon of half & half for $7.98. I forgot to take a picture, but you can view the receipt here.

This brings our running Grocery Challenge total for Week 4 to $17.65. (As per Grocery Challenge rules, only food purchases are counted towards the contest total – not toiletries or the cost for coupons.)
