Saved 78% This Year on Groceries & Household Items

I didn't  shopped much, at least for food or household good, the past two weeks.  I was too busy trying to finish up my Christmas shopping and then catching the after Christmas sales.  My pictures and totals are for a the last two weeks.

Splurge Funds: $190.90

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, don't have coupons for, or when I'm over budget.
