Saved 86% This Week

Walgreens

Last Sunday was almost as good as Black Friday at Walgreens.  Too bad, Walgreens has become a "You Snooze you Loose" shopping experience.  You shouldn't have to shop first thing Sunday morning to get the deals.

I spent some of my Register Reward earnings on coffee and lunch bags and I'm keeping the rest for future weeks.

I headed to Target last Saturday night for one more round of frozen food.  The frozen food Giftcard deal at Target has to be one of my favorite ever.

Dierbergs

I didn't get to Dierbergs until early Thursday evening.  Yep, they had run out of some of the best deal on the 15 Hour Sale.  I have rainchecks for Sister Schubert's Rolls and Eckrich Sausage.  That's o.k.,  I'll let Dierbergs store them for me for a few weeks.

Splurge Funds: $282.83

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.
