Friday Finals!

In line with Southern Saver's Friday Finals weekly edition, I'm going to be putting up my totals for the week (running Saturday through Friday). Here's the grand total for this past week:

Total Value of Items Purchased: $541.54
Total Amount Spent: $149.63
Total Amount Saved: $391.91

Percentage Saved: 72%

I'd like to strive for spending less than $100 per week (perhaps a lofty goal for a family of 6), but since Coke Zero was on sale & I had coupons we wound up stocking up on it which bumped our total spent up.

Here's a store by store breakdown:

Target:

Spent $5.88
Saved $3.89
Gotta have our EAS shakes!

Walgreens:
Spent $5.20
Saved $47.16
Took advantage of Scrubbing Bubbles shower kit, Garnier & Glade Register Rewards deal and used balance remaining on a gift card.

Rite Aid:
Spent $0 thanks to a gift card!
Saved $13 in coupons and will get another $13.49 back in SCRs.
Bought some shoe inserts for Jon and Pampers for the bambino.

CVS:

Spent $10.58
Saved $61.33
Lots of Schick razors and Scope Outlasts- would have spent less if my grand plans had worked out the way I intended...either my math stinked and/or the coupons didn't work out the way I planned. Grr.

Harris Teeter:
Spent $54.79
Saved $131.68
Coke Zero-palooza! We have over 30 twelve packs on hand now. Took advantage of Walgreens Register Rewards to bring totals down during Coke purchases. Also bought produce and milk throughout the week.

Kroger:
Spent $59.89
Saved $36.37
Bought some super cheap Healthy Choice meals thanks to $2 printables, various produce items, cottage cheese and about 13 lbs or so of boneless skinless chicken breast.

Lowes Foods:
Spent $13.29
Saved $98.48
Used remaining Jello coupons before expiration and stocked up on Softsoap body wash & Lawry's marinades.
