Review of My Spending This Week

by Christy on November 14, 2009

Wow! I was entering my weekly totals into my budget notebook, and I spent a very small amount out of pocket this week. I spent just under $8.00 for all this stuff!!! Here are the deals I got this week and the amount I spent.

Albertson’s – Spent $ .44. Saved $52.37.


Another Albertson’s Trip – Spent $2.78. Saved $45.63
Fred Meyer trip – Spent $2.09. Saved 33.86 (I used $5.50 of my rewards redemption & a $10.00 gift card I earned a long time ago, the rest was coupon savings)
I also ended up with $15.00 worth of Catalina coupons, and my Fred Meyer purchase is going to earn me a $5.00 rebate.
I headed to the mall, Mom needed a night out! My goal was to get some Christmas shopping done with the coupons and Kohl’s cash I had. Here is what I got at the mall.
I had a earned $5.00 from Gymboree Rewards, so I picked these up for my sister who is expecting. They had an additional 20% off the clearance price, so after my $5.00 discount I paid $2.38. Saved $27.50.
I saw this bathrobe and knew my daughter would love it, I picked it up to give her for Christmas. I also added the gloves for some stocking stuffers. I had $20.00 in Kohl’s cash from the Safeway deal, so after the sale prices and Kohl’s cash I paid $ .11. Saved $41.90.
So, when all is said and done, I spent $7.80 this week, and saved a total of $203.26. Plus, I have the $15 in Catalina coupons and a $5.00 rebate coming.
This has to be my best week ever! I am thrilled. You can see how couponing can really save you some BIG money. I would love to hear about the deals you scored this week.
