Small savings week (Friday Figures 02-14-14)

I invite you to link up to your best grocery deals below, to inspire others to save more! 

Welcome to Friday Figures! Link up your best grocery deals below!

Not a big savings week for me - only 18%. Let's hope for a better week next week!

Here's what I got this week:

Publix: Spent $7.37, saved $12.36

I also went to ALDI twice for the usual stuff - dairy, bread, and produce - and spent $19.65 for the first trip and $23.67 on the second. I also bought bread, bananas, and stain remover at Walmart, spending $4.85.

Overall, this week I spent $55.54 for items which retail for $67.90, or a 18% savings based on the retail value of the products at the stores where they were purchased.

For the year (7 weeks), I spent $433.62 for items which retailed for $946.86 and saved $513.24, or a 54% savings. That's an average of $61.95 spent each week for a family of five (husband, wife, and daughters ages 16, 13, and 8), including lots of fresh produce, dairy items, and kosher meat, as well as paper and plastic goods, health and beauty items, and cleaning supplies.
