February Status

So how'd we do in February? We were actually in really good shape right up until the last day of the month. We still did very well, but I think we about doubled our spending on the last day. That includes some beautiful roses DH got for me. :) He's so sweet. Aren't they lovely?


As you may recall, I have a goal of $30 a week. Here's the rundown:
Total grocery OOP: $59.47
Average weekly spending: $14.87 (YES! WAY under!)
Total grocery savings: $70.02
And I saved more than I spent! $10.55, if you're wondering.
And if you're wondering how this is calculated, here's the general idea. Groceries mostly include those things I get at places like Meijer and Aldi. So this doesn't include anything from CVS or Walgreens, even if it could be construed as a grocery type of item. I may or may not record a trip to the grocery store. If there's nothing terribly interesting about it, I won't bother. I doubt anyone has any desire to see a picture of every bottle of milk I buy.
