We did pretty good this week sticking to our budget and got a lot!!

Kroger was our first trip, to get a few more items on the 10 item event.  We then went to Bi-Lo where we did the best I’ve done at Bi-Lo yet!!

Kroger- Total Due before Coupons & Sales: $78.44
Total Paid after coupons: $32.13
Savings: 59.04%

Bi-Lo – Total Due before Coupons & Sales: $46.36
Total paid after coupons: $11.86
Savings: 74.4%

Overall Total before coupons & Sales: $124.80
Total I paid: $43.99 (we rarely spend over $50 a week so this was a lot for us)
Total Saved: $80.81 or 64.8%

To not through off the above percentages I am listing Walgreens and CVS seperately:
