Wednesday Weekly Shopping: Saved 66% - wow!
(If you're looking for this week's frugal tip, I've made a change to my blogging schedule - the weekly frugal tip will appear on Thursday night. Wednesday Weekly Shopping will now appear on Tuesday night - so you can start linking up earlier!)
This week was full of really great deals - I even went twice to Publix to take advantage of them! I did go a little over budget, but I was able to save almost 66%! Generally I save around 50% because I buy so many things at ALDI (which are lower priced anyway), so this is a real accomplishment for me.
Here's what I got this week:
ALDI trip 1 (not pictured): Spent $8.07
Overall, this week I spent $92.72 for items which retail for $269.60, or a 66% savings based on the retail value of the products at the stores where they were purchased. (But don't compare percentages!)
For the year (47 weeks), I've spent $3615.80 for items which retail for $6562.46, and saved $2946.66, or a 45% savings. That's an average of $76.93 spent each week for a family of five (husband, wife, and daughters ages 14, 10, and 6), including lots of fresh produce, dairy items, and kosher meat.
