This was a big shopping week for me and I actually did most of it today 🙂 I needed a few things so I decided to go to Publix and hit the sale early! I usually wait and shop on Monday but there are so many great deals I thought I’d grab a few today. I also wanted to get to Rite Aid to get my Gift of Savings done since tomorrow is the last day! There are so many moneymakers and freebies there this week–it was a snap!
I did spend more out of pocket than I usually spend. I spent $57.51 OOP this week–that is almost double what I spend in an average week. I will be getting $48.89 back as a check from the Rite Aid Single Check Rebate program and also earn a $20 Gift of Savings check…so I think that my money was well spent this week 😉Â
This week I spent $57.51 for $424.49 worth of products–that means I saved 87% this week. Here is what I purchased:
