I went on my weekly Saturday night shopping marathon and this week – it was worth it!
I spent $160 (for three weeks, plus lots of stock up) but I saved $180, 53%!!!
I went to :
- Walgreen’s
- Basha’s
- Safeway
- Fry’s
That’s $53 a week (our budget is $65) and all I need to buy over the next three weeks is milk and some produce from Bountiful Baskets (more on that later today). That will put us AT our budget for the month.
I purchased $60 worth of stuff at Walgreen’s and only put out $23. I got back $6.49 in Register Rewards and am due another $14 in Rebates!
We even splurged this week and bought Baby Back Ribs for a barbeque on Monday.
