The last week we spent a whopping $169.15 on groceries and the savings rate came in at 41.94%. Spending for the month is $478.23 and the savings rate is 44.50% for August before rebate monies are added in.

Rebates earned in August--
$134.87 on Ibotta
$27.90 on Checkout51
$5.96 on Aisle and Misc.
$168.73 total in $$

Total spent after rebates is $309.50
for August. It's crazy how much more food cost here than in LA.  We cherry pick at ShopRite but it's not as good as it was when we lived in NJ back in the 80's obviously. At least the sales tax is lower here.  I still miss Kroger but NOT Louisiana. 8-((

10,502 Pts. 
4,555 Pts. on Swag Bucks
0 Pts. on My Points
350 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...squash, green beans, roast chicken, fajita filling, leftover chicken breast(that didn't go into fajita), carrots beef and broccoli.

Here is what was planned for the this week.....
1. Sunday--Burgers, Sweet Potato Fries
2. Monday--Chicken Stir-Fry
3. Tuesday--Leftover Roast Chicken, Cabbage
4. Wednesday--Meat Loaf, leftover  Veg
5. Thursday--Tenderloin Pork, Veg TBD
6. Friday--Lobster
7. Saturday--Eat out with family who still like us

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.
