Here are my weekly shopping totals for the week of August 21 - August 27. They include how much I would have spent without sales and coupons, how much I saved and how much I actually spent. How did you do?

Subtotal before sales and coupons: $418.38

Total saved: $ 323.70

Total paid: $94.68

Saved: 77%

My weekly budget is $80/week so I was over the budget last week by $14.68. BUT, I was under budget by $22 the week before so I am actually right on target for the 2 week period! And I did a lot of stocking up at Harris Teeter on shredded cheese and tortillas and at Lowes Foods on Super Doubles deals!

I shopped at Lowes Foods Super Doubles 3 times, Harris Teeter, Kroger (I passed by it on the way to the bank so I made a stop for produce and tortilla chips and the weekly freebies I had saved on my card), CVS and Target this week. It was more shopping than usual, but with Super Doubles, I made extra trips.

How did you do this week?

To figure out the percentage you saved:

Take the total amount saved divided by the total amount before sales and coupons.
