Hi. Just in case someone is reading this and wondering where the heck I have been, I'll let you know.
I have been having a temporary aversion to couponing and grocery shopping in general. It started when we went out of town for a couple of days and then continued on as I had a terrible headache for a couple of days. We mostly just ate what we had in the house, however last week we did take one trip to the WinCo to pick up a few items. I spent $54.15 there and that was the only grocery shopping we did last week.
This week my husband picked up a few things from walmart on his way home from work and spent a total of 15.48. Unfortunately in december I lost my camera charger and as of late it has completely lost it's charge. I will be ordering a new one soon, but in the mean time that means no pics of the groceries.
I am finding it kind of hard for some reason to get back into the swing of the coupon thing. I know I will eventually. I think It will take a really good sale to pull me back into it. In the mean time I am going to try at least to keep within my $50 a week. I will make it a goal to try to hit at least one sale in the next week and see if that helps.

week in review 2/8- 2/17 Week 6
Total spent this week: $54.18
Total saved this week: $60.56
* I realize that percentage is down from my average, but I haven't been feeling the greatest so it is hard to do as much bargain grocering. I also went a little over 50. Last week, however I was under by 17.38 cents so I actually have $13.20 still rolling to next week. I start out each month at 0 but during the month if I have quite a bit over or under I roll it into the next week.
Total spent this year: 315.03
Total saved this year: 633.93
Total saved this week: $60.56
