Savings from coupons and store sales: $84.68

I finally got out and tested the grocery shopping waters in my new town.  I hit the Giant, Target, and CVS.  Other than getting very lost on my way home from Target, things went well!

  • Giant: Saved $20.89
  • Target: Did this Special K deal twice.  Saved $29.33 and scored a free gallon of milk from the Pop Tarts deal.
  • CVS:  My 22 cent shopping trip saved me $34.46!
     

Savings from cutting costs: $10

  • We finally have been able to enjoy tomatoes and basil from our little garden!  Last night I made tomatoes and mozzarella with basil…YUM!  Sadly, we had to leave many of our plants when we moved, but we’ve been able to talk family into bringing some down as they come to visit. =)
 
TOTAL SAVINGS:$94.68

TOTAL SAVINGS THIS YEAR: $2995.23

  • ALDI: Saved $10

    Savings from ‘Free Money’: $19.00

    • Wes and I  have made around $2.00 this week from YouData.
