Saved 90% This Week

This might have been my best week ever at the grocery store. Savings percentages always look great from the drugstores, but grocery shopping isn't usually this good.

Shop 'n Save

I made three trips to Shop 'n Save on Thursday to take advantage of the $10 off $50. I also used a $5 off $50 coupon from the Entertainment Book on each trip, and had $10 in Catalina coupons to start with.  Thanks readers, for finding all the additional deals. 

Before sales & coupons: $215.51
Spent: $8.76  (Hubby says omg!!!)
Saved: $206.01 for a 96% savings

Schnucks

I had a couple of $1 off sausage coupons that came from a beer display, and a couple of $3 off your next order Catalinas.  It's so fun to pay your bill with pocket change.

Before sales & coupons: $12.91
Spent: $0.35 + $6 in Catalina coupon
Saved: $12.56 for a 97% savings

Splurge Funds: $70.09

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.
