I spent $84.53 on food/toiletries/HBA the last week. This brings our food/toiletries/paper goods Total to $197.82 for March.  That was 1 trip to Walmart and 1 trip to Weis and mostly, they were to do Ibotta deals.  Though I did get some canned food goods.

There are 17 shopping days left in March.  

I've earned $84.12 on Ibotta in March.

I've earned $0 on Checkout51 in March.

I've earned $9.00 on Coupons dotcom/Paypal in March.

I've earned 2927 points($2.92) from shopping on Fetch in March.

I earned 2905 Kicks($11.62)from food shopping on Shop Kick in March. 

I've earned 1504 Swag Bucks($15.04) from food shopping on Swag Bucks in March.

I've earned $0 from food shopping on Tada in February.

That's $93.12 in rebates(not counting the Shop Kick/Swag Bucks/Tada/Fetch)on $197.82 in grocery spending so in reality it's $104.70 spent after the 3 rebate apps I count.

Go me!!

My savings percentage for the last week was 55.72%(without "regular" Rite-Aid trips)and the monthly savings total for March comes in at 54.17% so far(w/out R-A). 

Leftovers going into this week.....Lasagna and Garlic Bread.

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

2. Monday--Cheeseburgers on roll, Potato Salad

3. Tuesday--Veal Parmesan, Veggie TBD

4. Wednesday--Bob Evans Salad for Lunch, FFY for dinner or leftover Lasagna

What do I need to buy to fix everything on this menu? Nothing.  I'm trying to use up stuff in the fridge before we leave town for awhile.  There are a few getting "long in the tooth" potatoes in the pantry I need to use up and some chicken stock which will get put into the freezer. Whatever is left of the Lasagna and any leftover sauce(if Ex-CB doesn't want it)will go into the freezer.

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?  Great deals(even good deals)....what's that lately? hahahaha
