Saved 72% This Week

CVS

I didn't need anything at CVS this week, but since I had a $3 off Revlon Cosmetics coupon from the Magic Coupon Machine, I couldn't resist stopping on my way to Aldi to make a few dollars buying nail polish.

Before sales & coupons: $5.79
Spent: $0.00 and $1 ECB for 100% savings

Shop 'n Save

There is nothing better than a food freebie.  This week's StarKist Deal at Shop 'n Save was a good one.  And I still have a $1.50 Catalina to spend.

Before Sales & Coupon: $15.80
Spent: $1.50

Dierbergs

Great deal on New York Texas Toast Frozen products this week.  I only had the New York products, Sister Schubert's (from last week's raincheck) and Eckrich Sausage (from last week's raincheck) on this week's list at Dierbergs.  They were still out of the Eckrich Sausage.  I'll have to use that raincheck another day.

Before Sales & Coupons: $13.87
Spent: $3.73
Saved: $10.14 for a 73% savings

Schnucks

I somehow erased my picture of the bigger shopping trip to Schnucks this week.  I picked up Texas Toast Croutons, Oscar Mayer lunchmeat, tangelos, broccoli crowns, mushrooms, lettuce, cole slaw mix and a couple of Spice Island spices last Friday night after the storms moved on.  Just imagine that other picture when you look at my weekly totals.

Before Sales & Coupons: $92.79

The Cuties Clementines were really good.  I might have to get to Aldi tomorrow before the sale is over to pick up a few more.

Splurge Funds: $289.31

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.
