My $50 Budget - Saved 59% This Week

My $50 didn't go very far this week. The good deals were few & far between, but I was able to stock up on some more meat.


Two trips to Schnucks this week. Once last Sunday, to pick up Ziplocs and Chicken, and then again on Friday to pick up Jimmy Dean Sausage.  $1 a box for Ziploc's is not the best price I've ever seen, but I was all but out, and I'm not sure that won't be the best price we see on Ziplocs this year.

Before sales & coupons:  $76.79
Spent:  $30.64
Saved:  46.15 for 60%


$1.50 after coupon was a good price for the Marzetti Dip.   I also had $1 off fruit coupons when you buy Marzetti Dip. Those $1 off fruit coupons didn't go very far.

Before sales & coupons: $23.13
Spent: $8.26
Saved: $14.87 for 64%


Comparable Schnucks price: $19.44
Spent: $10.15
Saved: $9.29 for 48%

Weekly Totals
Before sales & coupons: $119.36
Spent: $49.05
Saved: $70.31 for a 59% savings

  1. A slow week for me. Schnucks for Chiquita Bites, Ice Mtn water, and Lean Cuisines. A few freebies at Target and Walmart. I used up my last $5/50 SNS coupon on a gift card, and used up $18 in ECBs on groceries at CVS.

    Wow! I can only dream about being able to shop at Public. Deals haven't been that great in St Louis the past few weeks. Sounds like we should all move south :)
