Do you need to know? (Wednesday Weekly Shopping)
I just wanted to ask all of you: I know lots of you want to see what I bought at Publix and all of the coupons that I used. But do you find my ALDI shopping as interesting, and want to see it as a separate blog post? Or would you just like a summary here?
Just curious! Please let me know!
Here's what I got this week:
Publix trip 1: Spent $10.64, saved $24.66
Publix trip 2: Spent $15.02, saved $50.12
ALDI trip 1: Spent $35.66
ALDI trip 2 (not pictured): Spent $27.78
Overall, this week I spent $89.10 for items which retail for $163.88, or a 46% savings based on the retail value of the products at the stores where they were purchased.
For the year (11 weeks), I spent $831.01 for items which retailed for $1,502.51 and saved $671.50, or a 45% savings. That's an average of $75.55 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.
