Saved 70% This Week

I had a very strange shopping week. I didn't do much shopping last week, so on Saturday I stopped at Ace Hardware, Sappington Farmers Market and Deirbergs.  There were some great deals I didn't want to miss.  When I heard about the predicted storm, I was very happy I had gone on Saturday.

Ace Hardware
You have to love free!

Before sales & coupons: $12.76
Spent: $0.00
Saved: $12.76 for 100% savings

CVS
I got a $5 off 2 Revlon coupon from the Magic Coupon Machine and was able to find some lip gloss on clearance. I used the  overage to help pay for my eggs.

Before sales & coupons: $18.97
Spent: $0.23
Saved: $18.74 for a 99% savings

Dierbergs
This picture is of both my Saturday and Thursday shopping trips. I've always loved shopping at Dierbergs.  It's also great to be able to pick up some fantastic deals there too.

Before sales & coupons: $54.00
Spent: $14.86
Saved: $39.14 for a 72% savings

Sappington Farmers Market
Comparable Schnucks price: $9.51
Spent: $4.37
Saved: $5.14 for a 54% savings

Aldi
Comparable Schnucks price: $36.01
Spent: $19.99
Saved: $16.02 for a 44% savings

Weekly Totals
Before sales & coupons: $131.25
Spent: $39.45
Saved: $91.80 for a 70% savings

Year to Date
Spent: $211.50 ($42 weekly average)
Saved: $542.75 ($109 weekly average)

Splurge Funds: $229.40

For those who don't read my blog on a regular basis, my splurge funds are the difference between what I've actually spent and my $50 budget. I use it for those items I never find on sale, don't have coupons for, or when I'm over budget.

    I did weird shopping this week too. We went early Monday morning to Dierbergs and bought pears, bananas and the Land of Lakes. We went Target for a few items and some DiGiorno. Other than that and Diet Coke, I have stayed in. I am hoping to get to Schnucks tomorrow. It looks like it is going to be a little warmer so I will venture out. Have a great weekend.

    Oh I am so sick of this snow! My birthday is the first day of spring and boy oh boy I can't wait until my b-day this year!

    I love Dierbergs as well and generally they ave fairly coupon friendly. I love that they have such a good selection of local products and organics.

    HI Rhonda - I was hoping to get to Schnucks for Malt-0-Meal and Target for DiGiorno and cheese today. But, more snow? I'm tired of cleaning off the car.

    Hi Ina - Ace Hardware had GE CFL bulbs for $1 thorugh the end of January. I used the $1 coupon in 1/09/11 SS. That coupon doesn't exprie until March. Keep you eyes open, there will probably be a good deal on GE Bulbs before the coupon expires.

    Hi All,

    I did mostly some berry picking this week too. Not much from each store just what was on sale/Free/MM =)

    Nora--March 20th? Is that the first day of Spring? and your B-Day? I am 7 days after =) Pure Aries here =)!!! And sometimes it bites me in the b***. Are you Pisces or Aries? I forget the date line. And on the bad thought-it has snowed on my birthday before =(

    Also, when DH and I were at Lowes they have a 5 pk of CFLs for $.99. Yep 5 for $.99. Not free but very cheap. =)
