Well after several weeks of doing very little shopping– I made up for it a little bit this week! I was able to replenish my husband’s Diet Coke Supply, lots of snacks and just random stuff to add to the stockpile.
I did end up shopping at Publix, Kroger and Walgreens this week to hit all the deal. I spent a bit more than usual but since I have been under budget for several weeks in a row it was no biggie! I ended up spending $56.67 for over $403 worth of products!! That means I saved ab0ut 86% this week. I guess it was good timing as we have around 2 or 3 inches of snow here at our house. So we should be A-OK if we get snowed in for a day or so 😉

How did you all do this week? Leave a comment or link to your weekly totals.
Enjoy the snow! We’ve got about 2-3 inches here up near Athens. Praying the power doesn’t go out like it did last year. We were out for 5 days last year!
Do you live in a state that doubles? I can’t remember where you are. I live in FL so of course we don’t get that benefit that would help my savings so much more. I did pretty good last week with spending 100.02 but saved 150.36. I don’t know if I will ever get single digit spending with triple digit savings since we don’t get double coupons here.
As always, you are an inspiration Michelle. I spoke at a local MOPS group and went to a coupon class held by a friend. I made sure they noted your blog address, because you do such a great job. Thanks and happy Valentine’s.
I spent $23.76 for $129.47 worth, saved $105.71 = 82%
You are my hero!! 🙂
I wish y’all would post for the current weeks sale, instead of last weeks…
Wow!
$74 worth of Coke products. You really did replenish your stock… WTG with the RRs.
What are register rewards? I love your blog! Thank you!
Alicha – I’m in Florida, too, and you can definitely get those numbers down over time. Keeping saving ALL of your newspaper inserts, use competitor coupons whenever possible, and get your pantry stocked up. It took me a couple of months, but I’m now down to $50/week after hitting multiple stores, including Publix, CVS, Wags, etc. You can do it!
Thanks for having confindence in me StephanieP. I have only been doing this since the 2nd week of January making this my resolution. I guess I haven’t been brave enough to venture to CVS or Wags yet since I am just now feeling better and not so overwhelmed with just Publix. Now I just have to take time to figure where the better deal is out of the 3 stores. Having 3 kids and working full time sure takes a lot of my time as well as full time nursing my 3 1/2 month old but I have made time for this new venture in my money saving hunt.
How many of those small drug store carts did you fill with coke? LOL !
I just went grocery shopping this morning!! I spent $8.09 and saved $94.68! That means my percentage for the week was 91%. This has been the best week I have had so far! Thank you Michelle for everything!
I am still learning but I guess I did pretty good, Spent 41.00 at Wags saved 30.22, 10.86 at wags saved 10.46, 72.44 at Publix saved 48.21. So total spent was 125.14 saved 88.89 and came out with 15.50 RR and 2 movie tickets from the Axe products. I am happy!
