I was so late last week that I have to make up for it. We have been out ALL day shopping and playing and just got home. It was a wonderful day with kids and being just mom for a while, so I hope you didn’t miss me too much.
We made it to Bi-Lo and Publix. Bi-Lo sent me a great coupon book filled with $2 off produce, milk, meat and a 10% off coupon so I felt compelled to put those to good use. I grabbed 1 lb of deli meat on sale for $1.99 lb, a bag of potatoes and just enough bananas to equal $2, reduced angus beef that after coupon came to $1… the deals just kept going.
This is everything from the day together, plus my youngest who was very determined to line up the bug spray. Moving her was pointless.
Bi-Lo:
Total before coupons and sales: $106.84
Total Spent: $31.60
Total Saved: $75.21 or 70.4%
I got a $5 off $50 coupon back from Bi-Lo which I used right away at Publix.
Publix:
Total before coupons and sales: $165.86
Total Spent: $61.83
Total Saved: $104.03 or 62.7%
Weekly Total:
Before coupons and sales: $272.70
Spent: $93.43
Saved: $179.24 or 65.7%
Yearly Totals:
Before coupons and sales: $4705.53
Spent: $1477.33 ($44.77 weekly average over 33 weeks)
Saved: $3228.20 or 68.6%
We went over the $50 weekly budget this week but have not had a big shopping trip in almost a month so I was glad to see that in the big yearly average we are still under budget! Our budget is $50 per week for all grocery, household and personal care expenses.
