So we are three quarters of the way through 2018.
How did that happen so fast?? lolz
I went through the various small pots of monies and here is where it all stands as of September 30th.
I save up all my rebates/spare change/refunds to apply toward the food bill in December.
(I don't put monies from things I sell during the year into this kitty.)
* The spare change was rolled and counted September 27th......
$39.00 to put toward the food budget come December. Now that Hubs isn't working and doesn't have as much WAM we don't get as much change accumulating at Chez Sluggy. I rolled $15.50 from Hubs' change cup but he wanted the bills($15)and let me have the .50¢ roll of pennies so I only had .50¢ to add to my spare change stash this quarter. 8-( I guess since 95% of the spare change in the cup is from his WAM it IS his to keep.
* Here are the current cash rebate app totals for 2018 thru the end of September.......
Ibotta $170.33
Checkout 51 $6.75
Savingstar $57.15
A total of $234.23 in cash rebates to put toward food spending in December.
* My Weis Refund envelope has $25.75 in it.
* My Rite-Aid Post Q/Refund envelope has $146.48 in it.
Altogether I have $445.46 at the 3/4 point in the year to apply toward food spending in December. Since my normal monthly food budget is $400 per month I can cover all the December food shopping!! Even is I go over a bit I'm good. 8-)))
* Not part of the grocery monies but my leftover WAM from the first 9 months of the year came to $586.00.
That was until Kim showed up and we hit the road. I fear my WAM accumulation will change significantly once this trip is over.......
Do you keep track of small streams of cash you receive?
Do you ear mark any of it for something special?
