Weekly update, Week 9

Here we are, up to date with the week that ended yesterday!  Again, part of this week included Harris Teeter's super doubles (and I am super excited to have super doubles starting again this Weds!!!)

Week 9 I spent $72.50 ($77.84 after tax) and saved $229.08, a savings of 75.96%!

I found some great deals at the drug stores this week too!

Weekly update, Week 8

Here we go with week 8!!  Part of week 8 included super doubles at Harris Teeter, so I bought a lot of sale stuff!!

Week 8, I spent $47.82 ($51.63 after taxes) and saved $174.79 a savings of 78.52%!

Just a few pictures of everything I bought that week!

Weekly update, Week 7

Ok, I know I am a bit behind!  But I kept all my receipts, entered them into excel, and here we are!

Week 7, I spent $96.75 ($101.71 after tax) and saved $213.62, a savings of 68.83%

Yes, we stocked up on fruit snacks!  We were down to about 3 boxes, which is way to low!  We go through a box a week, easily.  I also bought a bunch of Hamburger Helper and Betty Crocker potatoes, all of which got donated to Hope Station, a local place that provides food to families in need, and a homeless shelter form men at night.

Weekly update, Week 6

Another week has come and gone.  Man it seems time is going by fast!  I didn't spend too much money at the store this last week.  I am stocked up on a lot of stuff, so we are living off our stockpile, which is great because we are buying less and spending less.

For this week I only spent $3.44 ($3.62 after taxes), I saved $34.76, a savings of 90.99%, or 91%!!

As you can see from the picture, it was just a stock up purchase.

Weekly update, Week 5

Not only is the month of January done, but we are done with another week too!  So let's get to it!


I spent $51.65 ($52.93 after tax) and I saved $96.45, a savings of 65.12%

This week is my lowest savings based on % so far this year, but it is also a perfect example that some weeks are better then other's and you won't always have over the top savings.  Like I have said in the past tho, ANY savings is good savings.  I bought stuff that we needed, and I saved almost $100 while doing so, that is $100 I can spend on something else, so I am happy!

*edit* I forgot pictures!  I know it's not much, but I have 1 to add LOL

Weekly update, Week 4

Week 4!!  To be honest, I would have had nothing at all bought this week, except I had +UPs at Rite Aid that expired tonight, so I had to burn them or lose them!  Between being in Vegas, and then recovering from my trip, I didn't do anything this week.  But that is fine, because we are able to live off our stockpile and not run out to buy stuff all the time!

So, this week I spent $1.49 ($2.27 after tax) and saved $23.47 a savings of 94.03%.

I didn't use any coupons on the Finish....if I'd had extra's to use on them I would have had to find another $3 worth of stuff to buy LOL, so I still think I did pretty darn good!

Weekly Update, Week 3

Sorry this update is late!  I was very, very sick most of that week, and then I headed to Vegas for the weekend with my Mom!  But I am now home, and feeling much better.  So today I sat down and found my few receipts so I could do this post.  I only made 2 shopping trips that week, and 1 of them my hubby did, because I was too sick to go, but my coupons were expiring that day!  Isn't he great?

So, for this week I spent $21.37 ($27.47 with tax) and saved $101.99 a savings of 82.68%!  I stocked up on Pull Ups with a great coupon and a good deal at CVS!

Since I only had 2 trips, I only have a picture of the 1st trip, since I wasn't going to make hubby take a picture of what he bought too LOL.

Weekly update, Week 2

Another week has gone by, time for my update.  I spent more money this week (but also saved more).  I always spend a lot when Harris Teeter has their Super Doubles, but I also stocked up on some different meats, which we sorely needed.  But, that's ok, because I still had over a 70% savings!  That is all money in our pocket for other things.

Here we go, I spent $151.15 ($163.98 after tax), and I saved $401.19, a savings of $72.63%.  Here are a few pictures.

Well, there you have it!  So far I have saved over $700 this month!  Happy Savings!!

Weekly update, Week 1

Sorry I am 2 days late for my first weekly update, but I needed to tweak my excel spreadsheet that my hubby built for me to use.  That's right, my hubby is so amazing he  made an excel spreadsheet with all the breakdowns that I wanted, and even set it up to give me weekly, monthly, and annual totals!!

So, for week 1, I spent $62.04 ($69.98 after tax) and I saved $307.71 an average savings of 83.22%! I didn't take pictures of everything that I bought, but I will share a few pictures with you. (every week I will share some of the pictures with you, but not all.)

*did a small edit to update my numbers, I found some missing receipts that I had to add in.
