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.....

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.
