This Week on the Dining Table

  The "Big Adventure to New Jersey" Edition...

Hubs and I met our future daughter in-law's parents over the weekend plus a whole lot of other extended family.  We thought at this point we wouldn't meet them until the wedding. lol  It went well.

Here's a picture of Oliver aka Ollie, the fiancé's parent's dog.  He was cute and had a little 
chair/bed that matched the living room furniture. lol

We spent a whopping $100.88 on food/toiletries/HBA last week at Weis/P and R/Shoprite and a little something bought 6/30 at Ollie's that I didn't account for on June's total.  This brings our food/toiletries/paper goods Total to $100.88 for July.   

There are 26 shopping days left in July.

I've earned $62.68 on Ibotta in July.

I've earned $0.00 on Checkout51 in July.

I've earned $0.00 on Coupons dotcom/Paypal in July.

I've earned 4,049 points from shopping on Fetch in July which equals $4.04.

I've earned 0 points from food shopping on Shop Kick in July which equals $0.

I've earned 0 points from food shopping on Swagbucks in July which equals $0. 

That's $62.68 in rebates(not counting the ShopKick/Swag Bucks/Fetch)on $100.88 in grocery spending so in reality it's $38.20 spent after the Ibotta and Coupons dotcom rebate apps.

My savings percentage for last week was 55.80%(without "regular" Rite-Aid trips)for June and the monthly savings total for June comes in at 55.80%.(w/out R-A).

Was last week's plan successful, did you go off plan or did you not even plan what was going to be eaten last week?
