This Week on the Dining Table

The "Well There You Go!" Edition....

Last time I was in Walmart I snapped this  photo.  It's the "feminine care section" and look at the display of M and M's next to the tampons!! lol

Yes, women need chocolate when they are hormonal.  At least the management at this Walmart agrees. ;-))

I spent $58.14 on food/toiletries/HBA this last week(after using $10 in free gift cards)at Walmart, Aldi's AND Ollie's.

This brings our food/toiletries/paper goods Total to $61.99 for June.  

There are 17 shopping days left in June.

I've earned $11.25 on Ibotta in June.

I've earned $0 on Checkout51 in June.

I've earned $4.00 on Coupons dotcom in June.

I've earned 683 points from shopping on Fetch in June.

I earned 5,702 points from food shopping on Shop Kick in June. 

I've earned $3.71 from food shopping on Swag Bucks in June.

That's $15.25 in rebates(not counting the Shop Kick/Swag Bucks/Fetch)on $61.99 in grocery spending so in reality it's $46.74 spent after the 3 rebate apps I count.

My savings percentage for the last week was 42.46% (without "regular" Rite-Aid trips)and the monthly savings total for June comes in at 48.03% so far(w/out R-A).  

Leftovers going into this week....Chicken Marsala, BBQ Pork, Cole Slaw.

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

1. Sunday--Chicken Marsala leftovers, Green Beans

2. Monday--Subway Subs

3. Tuesday--Salmon, Carrots, Green Beans

4. Wednesday--Grilled Steak, Salad

5. Thursday--Lobster, Corn on Cob

6.  Friday--? Maybe eating out?

7. Saturday--?

What do I need to buy to fix everything on this menu?   Will have to buy lobster.  Cheapest these days is $9.99 lb. so it's a treat to have.  Also need to buy COC. The salmon is  one of those $2 clearance meal finds from Walmart I got a couple of months ago.  I've got a London Broil I'll marinate in Asian seasonings and grilled.  That will provide leftovers I'll either put in a salad or mix with a stir-fry Sat. or Sun.  The subs will be bought with a gift card I have.  It's a low grocery store need week for this menu so maybe a $30 shop this week for the lobster and corn.  ;-)

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 deals on food at your stores this week?
