 We shopped at Walmart and Shoprite this past week so most everything was bought there.

What got taken out of the freezer.......
*  Ground Beef
*  Chicken Parmesan
*  Steak

The last week we spent $160.01 on groceries and the savings rate came in at 44.10%. Spending for the month is $627.16 and the savings rate is 30.93% for May before rebate monies are added in.

Rebates earned in May--
$123.43 on Ibotta
$18.00 on Checkout51
$42.67 on SwagBucks
$0 on Aisle and Misc.
$443.06 total in $$

Total spent after rebates is $443.06
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 still miss Kroger even more.  We gave ShopRite a shot but it's not the same as when we shopped there in the old days, 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.)

Here is what was planned for this week.....
1. Sunday--Out for Father's Day
2. Monday--Leftover Steak, Corn on Cob
3. Tuesday--Leftover Chicken Parmesan, Green Beans
4. Wednesday--Leftover Broccoli Cheddar Soup, Biscuits or Sweet Potato Fries
5. Thursday--TV Dinners or whatever
6. Friday--No Clue
7. Saturday--No Clue

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.
We are cleaning out the fridge before our trip.

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.
