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

What got taken out of the freezer.......
* Salmon
* Chicken Thighs

The last week we spent $78.76 on groceries and the savings rate came in at 31.34%. Spending for the month is $78.76 and the savings rate is 31.34% for August before rebate monies are added in.

Rebates earned in August--
$53.92 on Ibotta
$11.90 on Checkout51
$0 on Aisle and Misc.
$65.82 total in $$

Total spent after rebates is $12.94
for August. 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-((

1,150 Pts. on Fetch
1,600 Pts. on Swag Bucks
0 Pts. on My Points
0 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...Lemon Pepper Chicken w/Zuke.

Here is what was planned for this week.....
1. Sunday--Chicken Parm, Green Beans
2. Monday--me-Salad
3. Tuesday--
4. Wednesday--
5. Thursday--
6. Friday--
7. Saturday--
I don't plan right now as I am on a very restricted eating plan.  Some days I have a protein shake or bar for dinner and Hubs has whatever he wants.  I eat a good amount of sugar-free Jello and take in a lot of water to keep my stomach full midday.  Breakfast is usually strawberries and yogurt, Greek yogurt if I can find it.
I am trying to drop the last 15 lbs. to qualify for a Jiffy Knee replacement.

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.

    we had salmon this week. One of those things, I like every now and then, but not too often. I see you do Swagbucks, as do I ; though not as much as I used too.
