Each week I document what I spend on groceries and other things for the family in order to keep up with my savings versus spending. If you don’t have something like this in place with your groceries, I recommend it! Not only does it help keep your spending under control, but it also helps you to actually SEE the savings on paper. Plus, down the road you can save you saved XX amount!
I ended my grocery week at different places and here’s what I got!
16 Del Monte Canned Veggies $.45- Used the target 1/6 and 1/8- Made them .20
Total Savings: $13.12
Total OOP: $3.63
Total Savings: $56.36

1 Great Value 24 pk Water $2.97- No Coupons- Made it 2.97
1 Chef’s Requested Beef Filets $3.98- Used the 3/1- Made it .98

I also ordered a Tshirt on Vista Print! $4.41 and saved $6.36.
All of this finishes out my week like this:
Total Savings: $166.63

How’s your budget going? Had any big savings that you’re proud of? I’d love to hear about it!!
