Couponing

Since it is the new year and many have made alot of resolutions I will share mine (a few weeks late, i know). I have vowed to get better about my couponing. As it stands right now I spend approx. $125 per week of all of our groceries, toiletries, and pet food. I do coupon. I save around $60 every week. I think that I am doing ok. When I break it down it is only about 33% savings. The problem is that I am stuck in a rut. I can't seem to get the budget any lower. I really prefer to by fresh, whole food. I try to keep the family at least 80-85% whole foods. As much as I would love to go 100% whole food, I know that we will get busy and what take-out, or something quick. I can't figure out a way to get whole foods lower. Any suggestions?
