Meijer Shop on 9/5 Spent 113 and Saved 56

Since the summer is over, I am back to work. It always takes awhile for me to transition into the work/life routine. I am still using the grocery game but have really only been using my Meijer grocery list from them. I also subscribe to the Kroger list but haven't been able to make it before their sale ends. I am thinking that I might drop Kroger and just keep to the Meijer list. I will give it another month or so to see if I make it to Kroger.

Saturday is my day to shop at Meijer. It is the last day of their sale and it seems like it is what works best for our family schedule.

I spent 113 and saved 56 with coupons and shopping the sales. This also includes toiletries. I bought 41 items. It was a good shop. I didn't buy anything that wasn't on sale and I even got some A1 Marinade for FREE with a coupon.

The meals are figured out in my mind for the week using this shop and items from the previous beginnings of my new stockpile!

Have a great week!!!

Monthly Averages

As you know, I have been bad about keeping all of you updated with my coupon journey. I have been keeping track of my grocery spending but it hasn't been as good as it once was. Even though I am disappointed that I haven't saved as much as I have in the past, I am still saving more than I did 2 years ago. I am aware of prices and sales even if it is a week when I didn't take the time to organize my grocery shop.

In June, our average weekly grocery expense was $83/week. This must be off or we ate out a lot!!

In July my weekly average on groceries was $165/week. This isn't too bad since my daughters and I are home in the summer therefore more meals and snacks. I saved $125 using coupons and shopping the sales.

In August, we averaged $145/week. I started back into my coupon adventure and saved over 80 on groceries this month.

Look for more postings as I make it a priority again to save more money on groceries!!!
