Told you I was doing my shopping a bit early and I am glad I did! I saved 10% off my entire order and scored some great deals on good quality meat. I do have tons of produce and I will be busy preparing them and freezing some of it so it is meal ready. Everything I bought is in the picture except for the whole wheat hamburger and hot dog buns (my table ran out of room!).

I used a coupon for 10% off your entire order if you spend $50. That's the reason I decided to shop early. The coupon was only good for 3 days, but that's alright. I am just glad my menu and grocery list was planned so it was no big deal to go out today :)
Total Spent: $199.03
Below is the list of items I still need to buy. Not much and mostly produce. You will notice I am getting closer to my goal. I told you it would all even out in the end. Not having to buy cleaning products, laundry soap or dishwasher soap is really making life easier. Just so know I am still loving all of my homemade cleaning supplies. In fact I just made a second batch of the dishwasher soap and the surface cleaner. Those two and the laundry soap are my favorites! I really encourage you try some of these or at least look into it!
Not too bad for an entire month...I am extremely happy and when I compared to last year I am still $100 less than when I used coupons. So I am spending less money, eating healthier, and spending more time doing what I want to do! Not to mention no more wasting time and money on printing all those stinking coupons ;)
The whole month??? Impressive!
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love shopping monthly! It really helps keep my spending in check, mainly because I HAVE to plan. Obviously the majority of my fruits and veggies are spread out throughout the month, but it's nice to have the bulk of it done all at once :)
