This week I saved a whopping $270.89 or 75% on my groceries and personal care items! My total out of pocket was $66.32. I am still building my stockpile, which is absolutely necessary to saving money! I got lots of free salsa (here, and good through Feb. 2nd!), canned goods and cheap creamer this week. I'm a big believer in buying store brand items in order to save money too. I also love great deals, like the Kashi, when I find them! It was a great week at Walgreens to boot. Here's what I got:
Fred Meyer: Trip 1
Spent $4.53
Saved $25.88 or 85%

The creamer was 60% off so I purchased I stocked up.

I saved some money on non-sale items I needed by buying the store brand.
Walgreens: 4 Transactions!
Total Spent before tax: $6.53
I also have $2 in Register Rewards left over!

Total Savings: $53.89 or 93%
Here is my month to date savings:
It is really motivating to see how much I am saving and I am loving the new savings tracker I downloaded from The Coupon Project. I keep mentioning it because it is a really handy tool to see how all my hard work is paying off. I have already saved $254.97 this month, that's an average of 72%! Woohoo!
How are you doing? I would love to hear about it!

Kim, First off...GREAT JOB! You are rockin' this thing! :) It looks like you even have the perfect little table to display your groceries. I am happy if I can just get them thrown up on the counter or the table and get a picture! I'm trying to be better at that though.
I started the New Year with the savings tracker as well. I am loving it. How did you get that on your post?? I'd love to do the same. My totals are not as good as yours, but probably because I had a trip to the bread store this month and also Costco where I don't use coupons. But I am happy to report that I am under budget for being half way through the month and I'm doing great. My shelf cost is $211, Savings $109, Total Spent $103, and 51% total savings.
Btw--I posted on my blog post with a follow up comment about the dough recipe. It wasn't on there to begin with--you didn't miss it. When you asked about it I realized that I had a link for it so I added it. Hope you like it!
