Weekly Spending Report: 01/15-21/2017

This was another simple week in the way of grocery shopping.  I really need to get back into the swing of shopping at CVS - I miss my ECB's deals!  It has been nice though to take a break from deal chasing and just pick up what we need from ALDI, and occasionally from Giant.  This week I just picked up the basics at ALDI - breakfast foods, snacks for Joe, produce, and some household items like paper plates and cleaning wipes.  Giant was having a great sale on Annie's mac and cheese, so I stocked up!  Likewise, I stocked up on my Lean Cuisine meals I like to eat for lunch some days, as well as a few odds and ends, like Mayo, and Doritos.  Below you can see how my spending panned-out...

• Monday's ALDI Trip: $59.82 oop (included, but not pictured are 8 gallons H2O)

• Saturday's Giant Trip: $56.28 oop, Earned $0.50 Saving Star Rebate (Annie's)

• Saturday's Dollar Tree Trip: $6.36 oop

Total OOP: $122.49
Total Earned: $0.50
Total Remaining for January: $250.32

By the second week in January, the fridge and freezers were emptying out of holiday leftovers, and I was back to a full work-week, so Joe was in need of easy lunches and snacks for him and Howard.  We were also expecting a snow day, so I picked up some fun 'snowed-in' foods - chips and dip, and ice cream sundaes!  Other than that I really just picked up random things that we needed, like paper plates, plastic silverware, milk, training pants, etc.  Below you can see how my budget broke-down...

• Sunday's ALDI Trip: $75.84 oop (included, but not pictured are 8 gallons H2O)

• Saturday's Giant Trip: $22.82 oop

Total OOP: $98.66

Total Earned: Zero

Total Remaining for January: $372.81

Even though I had a overflowing grocery envelope - leftover monies from December, plus a fresh January budget - I kicked off the new year with a super simple shopping week.  We still had plenty of leftovers in the fridge and freezers from the holidays, so we didn't really need much from the store.  So, I decided to skip grocery shopping altogether, and just stopped into the Dollar Tree on Saturday to pick up my newspapers.  I grab a few other deals while I was there, as you can see from the picture below...

• Saturday's Dollar Tree Trip: $11.36 oop

Total OOP: $11.36

Total Earned: Zero

Total Remaining for January: $471.47
