My Week In Review!
by Aimee at April 7, 2012 in Budgetting, Mommy Tips
For my family of three I allow us $100.00 every two weeks, and that includes groceries and toiletries.
I hardly did any grocery shopping this week. We have been eating from our stock pile the last few weeks and we still have so much! I was able to get more doublers from my local Albertsons, so I’m already planning another trip, which I will post once I go!
Spent: $12.40, Saved $82.26, for the breakdown go HERE.
Walgreens- Spent $5.23, Saved $6.38 – no picture, but I purchased (2) dozen eggs at just $1.00 each, (2) Nice! Sandwich bags just $1.19 each with in ad coupon, and (2) Jell-O gelatins for just $.24 each with coupons.
This Weeks Budget: 70.04

I am realizing that I have so much food in this house I don’t really need to be grocery shopping right now, except for the essentials like milk, bread, and produce. My lack of shopping will eventually pay off, since I’m accumulating money in my budget. I’m still waiting on some stock-up prices to come up for those items I’m running low on. How did you do this week?!?
WinCo: Spent $6.72, Saved $3.00 – of course I know I saved more shopping at WinCo with lower prices!
Vons: Spent $14.87, Saved $33.12
Albertsons: Spent $2.55, Saved $3.87 – bought green grapes $.99/lb

I actually didn’t do too much shopping this week, which was very nice. As you all know I am not couponing for any toiletries right now because we are trying to use up what we already own (unless I can get it for FREE). It’s nice to take a break sometimes and use up what you have because you don’t want to become a hoarder!! hehe
Here’s the breakdown of how I did this week:
Walmart: Spent $12.98, Saved at least $24.50
For the breakdown, go HERE.
Save Mart: Spent $5.54, Saved $7.78 (bananas bought too, not pictured)
WinCo: Spent $22.00, Saved ?? (no coupons used for this trip)
