Saved 60% This Week

Once again, I didn't shop much this week. I can't blame it on the weather - it was gorgeous. Maybe I just got out of the habit of shopping. My stockpiles are starting to dwindle, so I had better get back in the mood soon.

Shop 'n Save

I don't usually shop at Shop 'n Save unless they offer the $10 off $50, but I didn't want to pass up the cheap veggies and the Ball Park Franks deal for free Doritos. That deal was great timing with the $2 Ball Park coupon.

Dierbergs

The one day sale must have been crazy at Dierbergs. I didn't get to the store until after 7:00 Thursday evening, and they were out of many of the great deals. You have to love Dierbergs - even though their ad states "while supplies last," they were handing out rainchecks and even had them ready when you got to the Customer Service desk.

I had planned on spending quite a bit more, but since they ran out of what was on my list, it's nice they were so accommodating and are storing them for me for a while.

Splurge Funds: $329.32

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.
