Saved 80% This Week

I received $21 worth of rebates in the mail this week: (2) $5 S. C. Johnson rebates for buying getting paid to buy Ziplock bags, $5 rebate for buying Fleischmann's Yeast (I only paid $1.44 for) and a $6 beer rebate on things I had already purchased. Rebates really help me stretch my grocery budget.

Splurge Funds: $80.76

For those who don't read my blog on a regular basis, my splurge funds are the difference between what I've actually spent and my $50 budget. They are for those items I never find on sale or that I don't have coupons for.
