Last week we spent $203.86 grocery shopping.  It was my first full week back from Virginia so we needed lots of foodstuff.

Total shopping comes to $261.62 for August.   There are 12 shopping days left in August.  

Rebate monies earned this month so far.....

I've earned $208.79 on Ibotta in August

I've earned $9.50 on Shopmium in August.

I've earned $0 on Alexa app in August.

I've earned $6.00 on Kroger Cash Back in August(which still hasn't come through).

I've earned $0 on TaDa in August.

I've earned $12.39 on Checkout51 in August.

I've earned $19.50 on Aisle, etc. in August. (Haven't gotten my Nature Valley rebate yet from June.)

I've earned 23,152 points on Fetch from food shopping in August.

I've earned 13,536 points from food shopping on Shop Kick in August.($54.14)

I've earned 2,465 Points on My Points in August.($)

I've earned 5,189 from food shopping on Swag Bucks in August.($51.89)

That is $250.18 in rebates(not counting Shop Kick/Fetch/MyPoints/KCB/Alexa/Swag Bucks/The Insiders)on $261.62 of grocery spending so in reality it's $11.44 in food spending after the rebate apps I count. I now separate out the Food Bank donations and don't count those in the grocery spending(but I do count any rebates on those items).

My savings percentage for the last week was 51.17% and the monthly savings total for August comes in at 59.34% spent.

Leftovers going into this week...green beans, a small piece of pork loin, broccoli slaw.

Here is this week's food plan.....
