Lotta shopping, not a lotta blogging (Wednesday Weekly Shopping)
I did a lot of shopping this week, but didn't blog about it.
I've been feeling a little under the weather for most of the week, so I kept the blogging to the most important things, such as my Publix trip, my frugal recipe, and the giveaways that I had committed to running. Otherwise, I've let things slide a little.
So now I have to figure out exactly what I bought this week. Hope I still have all the receipts!
Here's what I got, I think:
ALDI trip 1: Spent $20.56
ALDI trip 2: Spent $19.28
Kosher Marketplace trip: Spent $43.05
Overall, this week I spent $106.31 for items which retail for $212.68, or a 50% savings based on the retail value of the products at the stores where they were purchased.
For the year (8 weeks), I spent $636.85 for items which retailed for $1,085.98 and saved $449.13, or a 41% savings. That's an average of $79.61 spent each week for a family of five (husband, wife, and daughters ages 15, 12, and 7), including lots of fresh produce, dairy items, and kosher meat, as well as paper and plastic goods, health and beauty items, and cleaning supplies.
In 2011, I spent $4,017.13 for items which retailed for $7,344.08, saving 45% and spending an average of $77.25 per week for the year.
In 2012, I spent $4,007.13 for items which retailed for $7,591.37, saving 47% and spending an average of $77.06 per week for the year.
