Last week we spent $76.75 on grocery shopping.

Total shopping comes to $371.93 or July.   There are 2 shopping days left in July.  

Rebate monies earned this month so far.....

I've earned $166.05 on Ibotta in July.

I've earned $17.50 on Shopmium in July.

I've earned $0 on Alexa app in July.

I've earned $13.00 on Kroger Cash Back in July.

I've earned $19.05 on Aisle, etc. in July. (Haven't gotten my Nature Valley rebate yet from June.)

I've earned 4,567 points on Fetch from food shopping in July.

I've earned 8,864 points from food shopping on Shop Kick in July.($)

I've earned 340 Points on My Points in July.($)

I've earned 4,156 B from food shopping on Swag Bucks in July.(give or take)

I've earned a $15 virtual gift card from The Insiders.

That is $232.61 in rebates(not counting Shop Kick/Fetch/MyPoints/KCB/Alexa/Swag Bucks/The Insiders)on $371.93 of grocery spending so in reality it's $139.32 in food spending after the rebate apps I count. I now separate out the Food Bank donations and don't count those in the grocery spending.

My savings percentage for the last week was 37.33% and the monthly savings total for July comes in at 42.90% spent.

I'm not in charge up here.  My sister in-law had gastric bypass surgery a few years ago so she eats different and my brother is picky.  Meals are always an adventure and a surprise here. ;-)

I bought some salad kits and seafood so we cobble something together.

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?

Any deals on food at your stores this week?

What Have I Done!!

It all began innocently enough.

I saw on Facebook that a distant cousin in the lowlands of South Central Virginia had died recently so went to make her a memorial on FAG.  Saw that the person who put the memorial up for her Husband a few years ago entered his death date wrong, so I sent her a message in case she missed that typo and wanted to fix it.

She emails me back that she is no longer an active member of FAG and can't edit the memorial or any of the memorials she maintains.
Thinking it was strange that she didn't email FAG admins. and ask for them to take over the memorials I told her I'd gladly keep-up the maintenance on her memorials if she wanted to transfer them to me.

LOLOLOLZ!!!!!!!

A few hours later my email program blew up!

Did you know that when someone transfers a memorial to your care you get an email from FAG letting you know?
This person had over 400 memorials in her name.
So if you sent me an email and are waiting for a reply it might take me awhile to wade through my overfilled inbox at the moment. lolz

Oh well, this will be plenty to keep me busy over the Winter when I am trapped indoors by the snow and cold.

I've already found a long lost distant cousin among her hoard of memorials.  She didn't have a last name for poor Mary Alma's memorial. Mary Alma was married twice but not buried with either hubs but I found that she was buried near her brother and his wife and we have given her a proper slew of last names(both married and maiden).  And now her actual place of burial and correct birth date are out there for all her descendants to find.

I look at it this way.....it's not a (paid)job, it's an adventure back in history!
