Weekly Totals

I made the mistake of not creating a menu before I shopped this week and even went to the store with only a partial grocery list.  My fabulous buddy Tonya sent me a couple of $10 off $50 coupons that were expiring on 7/13.  I just couldn’t pass up free money so I decided to wing it a bit to get to $100 so I could use both coupons. I think I did pretty good. Although my weekly spending is double what I normally spend–I brought home a bunch of groceries, paper goods and toiletries!!

I decided to hit Kroger in hopes of using some overage on Smart Balance to reduce my out of pocket–but of course they were sold out.  I didn’t want to scrap the whole deal so I just went with it and paid a little more than I had expected.  I figured if I had to drag the boys into the store I might as well make it somewhat worth while!

I ran into Kmart twice this week.  I had to do another P&G deal to replenish my tampon supply.  I ended up getting everything FREE after the $10 catalina.  So then I had to go back and spend the $10 catalina this week before it expired.  I looked and looked and just couldn’t figure out what to buy–so I went with toilet paper since it is something we can always use. I did the same at Rite Aid…I couldn’t pass up the super cheap Bounty so I went back on Saturday before the deal ended.  I still have a $5 +UP Reward that I will use this week to score another deal

Believe it or not I spent $83.88 which is quite a large total for me. My savings this week is 71%.  I am very pleased with this total as I added 48 rolls of toilet paper,  30 rolls of paper towels, 4 boxes of tampons and a ton of food!!  I would say I had a very successful haul
