The last week we spent $127.96 on groceries and the savings rate came in at 34.16%. Spending for the month is $467.15 and the savings rate is 24.87% for May before rebate monies are added in.

Rebates earned in May--

$88.95 on Ibotta

$7.00 on Checkout51

$0 on Aisle and Misc.

$95.95 total in $$

Total spent after rebates is $371.20

 for May. I need to find someplace other than Walmart to buy groceries here. We picked up loss leaders at Shoprite but it's crazy how much more food cost here than in LA.  I miss Kroger. 8-((

16,932 Pts. on Fetch

3,177 Pts. on SwagBucks lol

353 Pts. on My Points

2,212 Pts. on ShopKick

0 Pts. on TaDa

(I don't count these until I cash out for a gift card or cash.)

Before AND after rebates we had a very low spend month for groceries at least for us.

Leftovers going into next week...Meatloaf, Brussels Sprouts, Carrots, Chicken Thighs.

Here is what was planned for this week.....

1. Sunday--Cheese Burger, Sweet Potato Fries

2. Monday--Leftover Meatloaf, Carrots, Brussels Sprouts

3. Tuesday--Leftover Chicken Thighs, Broccoli

4. Wednesday--Chicken Parmesan, Green Beans

5. Thursday--Broccoli Cheddar Soup

6. Friday--Mushroom Risotto, Salad

7. Saturday--Top Round Beef, Veggie TBD

We have a much smaller fridge/freezer now so have to be more strategic with food purchases here.  It's going to take some getting use to.

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.
