Total Bonus Cash spent was $389.70.  Earned back $332.00 in new BC plus a $15 R-A gift card(when a cashier didn't scan my $15 BC wyspend $50 Q first), $11.25 in cash for post coupons and $13.40 n Ibotta rebates making it $372.40 back on $38970 spent/rolled making it all cost $14.30 in Bonus Cash.
Regular retail on everything bought was $903.08(w/tax).

This much brought home for so little in BC and no $$ was only possible because I bought gift cards as well....gift cards I needed to buy anyway and that gave me more Bonus Cash to roll.

And I still have 2 online transactions I did that haven't arrived yet and I haven't counted with the above.  Once I get that and tally it up we'll be at least at $1K in products. ;-)

UPDATE--My Rite-Aid online orders arrived today and added $141.44 in reg. retail total making my Black Friday Sale Grand Total $1,044.52.

Hope everyone who Rite-Aids found some good deals last week!  What did you get?

What got put into the freezer last week....

*  Nothing

What got taken out of the freezer and used...

* 1 Turkey Breast

I spent $11.25 on food/toiletries/HBA last week(Walmart and .40¢ at CVS). This brings our food/toiletries/paper goods Grand Total to $200.21 for November.

There are 1 shopping days left in November.

I've earned $168.25 on Ibotta in November.

I've earned $20.12 on Checkout51 in November.

I've earned $23.40 on Coupons dotcom/Paypal in November.

I've earned $0 from Aisle.

I've earned 30,806 points from shopping on Fetch in November which equals $30.80.

I earned 9,285 points from food shopping on Shop Kick in November which equals $37.14.

I've earned 2,007 SB from food shopping on Swagbucks in November which equals $20.07.

That's $211.77 in rebates(not counting the Shop Kick/Swag Bucks/Fetch)on $200.11 in grocery spending so in reality it's -$11.66 spent after the 4 rebate apps I count.  Yay me.....

My savings percentage for the last week was 78.91%(without "regular" Rite-Aid trips)and the monthly savings total for November comes in at 61.46%(w/out R-A).  Pretty awesome savings rate last week!

Leftovers going into this week....2 servings of Goulash, 1 serving of Sweet Potato Wedges, Turkey, Stuffing, Pie, Rolls.

Here is this week's "food plan".....

1. Sunday--Turkey day leftovers

2. Monday--Apricot glazed Pork Chops, Sauted Cabbage, Au Gratin Taters

3. Tuesday--MustGo dinner(to borrow Sissie's term)

4. Wednesday--Whatever
5. Thursday--?

6.  Friday--?

7. Saturday--?

Those pork chops are out of the freezer now so WILL happen this week.  That's all the cooking I've planned for the week.

What do I need to buy to fix everything on this menu?  Not a thing. 

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 great deals on food at your stores this week?

Frugal Friday....the November 26th Edition

 Here's what we had happen in the frugal vein around here this past week.....

*  I sold 2 items on eBay!  A set of Wizard of Oz themed playing cards in a tin and 6 tubes of discontinued Nexxus shampoo.

*  I've been pillaging Rite-Aid for the Black Friday sale.  I'll give a total in a few days for it all.  I will say it's not been a stellar BF this year at R-A.  Every store I've gone to has been out of Conair hairbrushes and the big Russell Stover bags of chocolate and most never got any of these items.

*  I got an unexpected giftie from a reader!

An Amazon package arrived last Friday.  I got a set of cat butt fridge magnets to go with my dog butt ones!

*  I returned some items to R-A early in the week and received a cash refund on 4 items and BC back on the 5th item.

*  I found money!

A penny I don't remember where in R-A since it was last weekend.

This nickel was found on Wednesday near the Higi machine in the pharmacy area.

And a penny next to my car in the parking lot at Rite-Aid.

Found This Week... .07¢
Found This Year.....$20.10

*  I hit up CVS last weekend.  I had a free beauty item Q($5 or less)on my card so I got this.

It was $4.99 so nothing out of pocket after that Q.

And then I earned this free ECB for buying it......

That's about it this week.

What frugal wins did you have last week?

Let us know!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

 Hope your turkey was juicy and your pie yummy!
