Week of 7/17 Summary

Ok, so here is the summary of the week! For those of you that don't know me, I just finished the All You Challenge, and I am trying to stick to the $75 per week budget I used. I didn't quite make it this week, but I did have to buy charcoal (shouldn't that go under utilities, since I am not using my gas oven??? Ha! Ha!). I didn't do very good about posting each transaction as I did it, but I did post each of them separately today, so you can look back at the previous posts to get the details about each one. Here is the list:

• Winn-Dixie - Total Spent = $29.45, Total Saved = $36.10, for a savings of 58% (http://dealninjamom.blogspot.com/2011/07/winn-dixie-7172011.html)
• Publix 7/18 - Total Spent = $35.28, Total Saved = $39.32, for a savings of 53%(http://dealninjamom.blogspot.com/2011/07/publix-71811.html)
• Publix 7/20 - Total Spent = $13.54, Total Saved = $22.86, for a savings of 63% (http://dealninjamom.blogspot.com/2011/07/publix-penny-item-day.html)
• Walgreens 7/22 - Total Spent = $1.60, Total Saved = $13.16, for a savings of 90% (http://dealninjamom.blogspot.com/2011/07/quick-trip-to-walgreens-for-milka.html)

Total Spent for the week = $80.87, Total Saved = $112.44, for a total savings of 58% for the week!

I went a little over my $75, but remember, I did buy charcoal, and I am going to claim that should be utilities! :) Not too bad of a week, especially considering I got a lot of meat, and we fixed a meal for friends who just had a baby, so this had an extra meal in it also. I am going to have to tighten it up though, if I want to keep up a $75 a week budget, or I will have to make it $85. I always seem to go just a little over.
