It is hard to believe but September is now over and we have entered the Halloween month of October. We have been back to school for 6 weeks and it is amazing to think that the school year is about a quarter of the way done.
As I have mentioned in previous blogs, life has been pretty crazy with activities. I am back on the coupon journey. Not only am I back to couponing, I am trying to get back my love of cooking. The activities that the entire family has taken on has greatly impacted my desire as well as my time to prepare a meal. I have made a promise to myself that I will cook at least 3 times a week. I am sure that some of you wondering what we are going to do for the other meals. What I mean by this is that I will actually prepare a meal that doesn't involve a microwave 3 times each week. For the rest of the week, it will be up for grabs with meals like breakfast, sandwiches, and maybe a frozen pizza.
Last week was pretty good week for me. I made spaghetti and meatballs, italian sausage with vegetables, and salmon with mashed potatoes and brocolli.
In regards to my savings, I only posted once this month but here is my monthly total.
9/5 Meijer spent &113 and saved $56
9/11 Sam's club spent $187
9/19 Meijer spent $131 and saved $75
9/27 Aldi spent $82
The total spent for the month of September was $513 and saved $131.
This breaks down to a weekly average of $128. Not too bad. I am trying to get back to a weekly average of below $100.
I hope you continue to join me on my coupon adventure!!!
