This week was a doozie!  I spend more money than I have spent in a VERY long time! The boys and I managed to hit tons of stores and still make it to swim lessons, playgroups and all of our other weekly events and to-do’s!  It took me quite a while just to merge all of my spreadsheets! 
I spent $64.32 this week!  Yes– more than double what I typically spend.  Since I only spent $5.xx last week it kinda evens out 🙂  Really–I am THRILLED with my purchases this week.  Although I forked out a fair amount of cash,  I brought home a TON of merchandise and will get a fair amount back via rebates!  I also purchased two $50 gas gift cards from Publix but I am not including those in my weekly totals as that money comes from my auto budget (of course I only paid $40 per card since I used the Publix Q’s) My savings percentage this week is around 73%  Here is what I purchased this week for $64.32:
