I spent $67.67 on food/toiletries/HBA last week. This also included the almost free($1.58) ice cream I picked up at CVS, $2.31 spent at Ollie's and $25.36 I spend at Ocean State on the "free food" table-got a $25.36 gift card back-and forgot to put into July's total. This brings our food/toiletries/paper goods Total to $67.67 for August so far. Take out the July "Oops" and it's $38.42 strictly in August.
There are 23 shopping days left in August.
I've earned $70.88 on Ibotta in August.
I've earned $0.00 on Checkout51 in August.
I've earned .75¢ on Coupons dotcom/Paypal in August.
I've earned 3,158 points from shopping on Fetch in August which equals $3.15(It's actually more but I've been lazy about submitting my receipts.).
I've earned 3,175 points from food shopping on Shop Kick in August which equals $12.70.
I've earned 2,355 SB from food shopping on Swagbucks in August which equals $2.35.
That's $71.63 in rebates(not counting the Shop Kick/Swag Bucks/Fetch)on $67.67 in grocery spending so in reality it's -$3.98 spent after the 3 rebate apps I count until I cash out on the other three apps. 8-)))
My savings percentage for last week was 69.38%(without "regular" Rite-Aid trips)for August and the monthly savings total for August comes in at 69.38%.(w/out R-A).
Leftovers going into this week....a little corn casserole, zuke tomatoes, rice. clam chowder, biscuits, Spanish zuke dish, 2/3 of a stuffed zucchini. And carrot cake.
Here is this week's "food plan".....

3. Tuesday--Leftovers
4. Wednesday--Hot Dogs or Brats, Potato Salad, Cuke Salad

What do I need to buy to fix everything on this menu? We are all set to make this menu(except Friday and the take-out on Saturday).
What is getting fixed and served at your house this week?
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?
Any great deals on food at your stores this week?
It must be nice to grow zucchini! Chipmunks liked mine too much last year, so I did not try this year.
ReplyDeleteChipmunks wiped our broccoli plants out here. Chester is so sad. ;-)
