Saved 69% This Week

I didn't save a ton of money this week, but two of My Favorite Things were on sale. I was definitely doing the Julie Andrew Happy Dance.

Schnucks

I loved picking up the free solo cups, but they don't feel very Earth-friendly even though they say they are made of 20% post-consumer recycled content.

Total saved: $51.37 for 81%

Dierbergs

Finally, Bounty on sale. I'm going to put a roll of Bounty under the sink (for me to use) and leave the Smart Steps on the counter. My family sure goes through less of the cheap paper towel. The guys in the family have finally learned not to blow their noses on paper towel. Thank you, Smart Steps!

Aldi

I did stop back and pick up some 99 cent strawberries that aren't in the picuture.

My Splurge

I really like Schnucks' bakery buns, and since my husband listed Hollandaise Sauce Mix as one of his favorite things, I may as well spend some of my "splurge funds."

Spent: $5.97
