Weekly Totals 4/15
April 15, 2011
Who wants to give me a hip hip hooray it’s FRIDAY?! I am in desperate need of a vacation! Each week I think I will catch up and then each week flies by and I am ever further behind! I guess I should just accept the fact that I am never ever going to be able to get caught up. Ah well…there is always tomorrow–right? 
I am pretty well stocked so I just grabbed what I needed for my week’s menu and a few extras. Luckily, I managed to stay right on budget!
Bell pepper = $1.92
Limes = $1
Cilantro = 99¢
Mushrooms = $1.99
Carrots = 99¢
Grapes = $2.26
Bananas = $1.90
Onions = $2.99
Toufayan Pita Bread = 65¢
Cumin = $1.99
Garlic Salt = $1.99
Onion Powder = $1.59
Garlic Powder = $1.99
Bread = 89¢
Milk = $3.19
Chobani Yogurt = $1.34
Goldfish Grahams (raincheck & $.35/1 IP’s) x 6 = $1.80
Coca Cola= $5.99
Snak Sac = $0 (free wyb coke)
Strawberries x 2 = -$1.50 (two $5/1 coupons)
Feta cheese = $1.79
Donuts x 2 = $2.98
Tax $1.82
So this week I spent about $40 and saved around $15. While my savings percentage is really small (about 28%) the fact that I was able to get everything I needed and stay within budget makes me smile.
How did you guys do this week? Leave a comment or link to your weekly totals.
I hear ya on the catching up! And that’s what I always tell myself too – there’s always tomorrow!
Good luck!
I completely feel with you….every week I just get further and further behind! Sometimes we just need to say stop….and go to the Florida Keys:) That’s what I do…
So far behind I will never get caught up.. Which is really sad since I am a non paid employee:))) need a class on time management!!
Is that right, a $5/1 strawberries coupon???
I was wondering the same thing
I’d love to know how to get one of those.
I did a giveaway for Driscoll’s over on my other site I Heart Kroger…and the company gave me a few as a thank you for hosting the giveaway
PUBLIX this week: $223.22 of groceries, only paid $38.86.
Paid 17% of retail price!!
You got a $5/1 on strawberries? Is that still available.
How did you get the toufayan for $.65? I buy atleast 5 of those a week! I am new to this and can’t figure a thing out. i also cant figure out how to get the special coupon books.
they were BOGO last week and here in GA BOGO rings half price
Does anyone know of a site where I can find a compiled list of what coupons are in which ads throughout the year?
I spent $22.99 for $147.53 worth of groceries, saved $124.54 = 84%
Great job Jo!!!! That’s a huge Savings!
Michelle I love seeing all the healthy fresh foods on your list each week. It helps to remind us that you can save money and eat good foods too!
I only spent $50.09 this week and saved $57.86! Last week I spent $82.00 and saved $109.86! I’ve been couponing for about five months and these are the first two weeks I have saved more than I spent! I cleared a closet out completely last month so that I could start organizing my budding stockpile! To those who are just getting started and are frustrated by the big savings others post that you can’t seem obtain – just hang in there! You really do get better at it as you go!
Oh, and I should mention that I am a fulltime caregiver to a disabled spouse. I only shop at Publix because I don’t have time to run around to other places. I know I could do a lot better if I had the time to shop at several stores. This website has been such a blessing!!!! Thank you so much!
I’m new to the game but this week I saved 41%. And this food will last me for two weeks!! Thanks for your help!
I had two seperate trips to Publix this week and saved 54% on both trips. Not bad for all the cleaning items, spices, and products I needed to buy that didn’t have coupons. I also bought some thick cut Ribeyes since my husband was crving steak. He deserved it since he did a great job testing for a job in Kansas and has an interview in a couple of weeks! I can not get my site linked up, but here it is if anyone is interested =)

I am having trouble linking up, but I made a couple of trips to Publix and saved a combined total of 54%. Not bad considering all the items I had to buy, but didn’t have coupons for.
I can’t seem to bring up the Nivea coupons at redplum. Have tried several zip codes and can’t find it. What zip did you use?
Went to Publix on Friday and spent $34. I saved %399 That was a total of 92%. My weekly grocery budget is $50 a week. In the passed 2 weeks I have spent $90 and saved just at $700. I had $10 left over and went and got a quick manicure. LOVE IT!!
