This Week on the Dining Table

The "Faux Thanksgiving" Edition.....  

Here's the grand dog peeking over the table to see what scraps she can get after we went over Daughter and Son In-Law's house for Thanksgiving on Sunday.

This is day 169 of the new "diet".  Down 52 lbs. since the cruise(not counting the 8 I gained on the cruise and then lost again, which would make it 60 lbs.).

Last week we spent $42.85 on grocery shopping for November.  

Grand Total shopping comes to $236.20 for November.   

There is 3 shopping day left in November.

I've earned $147.02 on Ibotta in November.

I've earned $16.99 on Shopmium in November.

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

I've earned $15.05 on Kroger Cash Back in November.

I've earned $37.19 on TaDa in November.

I've earned $9.00 on Checkout51 in November.

I've earned 4,997 points from food shopping on Fetch in November.

I've earned 1,834 points from food shopping on Shop Kick in November.

I've earned 0 SB from food shopping on Swag Bucks in November.

That is $225.25 in rebates(not counting the Shop Kick/Swag Bucks/Fetch)on $236.20 of grocery spending so in reality it's $10.95 in food spending after the 6 rebate apps I count. 

My savings percentage for the last week was 62.62% and the monthly savings total for November comes in at 67.94% spent.  Nice percentages since we used what was left on that travel stipend card last week.

Leftovers going into this week....most of a pumpkin pie, 2 pans of homemade rolls but no other turkey day leftovers as we didn't bring anything home with us,

4  Wednesday--No Clue

5. Thursday--No Clue

No menu planning for me now, mostly things Hubs can do.  I have earned the right not to, in my mind at this point.  I am giving up control of meals to Hubs.  I will put in requests now and then.

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?  

I may post sporadically after this one or I might not, depending on drugs and stuff.
