Saved 88% This Week

Target

Two trips to Target this week with two back-to-back transactions each time.  I don't like to do more than a couple back to back transactions at one time because it tends to annoy the cashier and the people in line behind me.  And most of the time I need to regroup anyway.

This might have been one of the best sale ever at Target.  I rolled the $5 Target Giftcard for buying seven frozen items each transaction and have a $5 Giftcard to spend another time.  My totals were helped by the fact, I had a few coupons for a free Gorton's item they had sent me in the mail.

CVS

My picture is short most of the chocolate I bought this week. I was planning on getting back to CVS this week, after checking if I had coupons that would be expiring and any rainchecks for those products, but that didn't happen.  When I grab my CVS bag to get the picture together, most of the chocolate was gone.  Hmm,  it wasn't me.  Youngest???????

Year to Date Totals

(Includes last week's totals.  I didn't buy much and didn't post pictures, and it wasn't near as exciting as Janet's shopping trip to Shop 'n Save)

Spent: $320.55 ($40 average)

Saved: $812.35 ($102 average)

Splurge Funds: $270.85

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.

Last year, I spent my extra splurge funds for a freezer. This year, I'm saving them to redo my pantry.
