Saved 59% This Week

My percentage of savings is way low compared to usual. The grocery deals were few and far between this week. And, since I didn't end up shopping at either CVS or Walgreens (where you get the most bang for your buck) the percentage looks measly. I shouldn't complain. I still saved more than 50% on groceries and have Breyers in the freezer.

Splurge Funds: $123.56

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. I use it for those items I never find on sale or that I don't have coupons for.
