Boy, oh boy, did I do well this month! The amount I got back from rebates was almost as much as I spent on groceries. That’s a first! It was a short month, but a month full of surprise deals. I can see now that March will be a month where I can actually live off the stockpile and not worry. Wow, that’s big! Take a peek at how I did:
Total items purchased: 284
Total coupons used: 213
Total before coupons and discounts: 778.87
Total out of pocket: 173.25
Total savings: 605.62 or 78%
Total number of free items: 136
Re-usable bag credits: 1.05
Total amount received from rebates: 138.58
Organic items total before savings: 9.33
Organic items total after savings: 3.36
organic savings: 5.97 or 64%
Spending 173.25 but getting back 138.58 is fabulous! That’s only 34.67 OOP, after it’s all said and done. Hubby was wondering why we has so much money left in the account at the end of the month. Because I’m a deal seeking hound dog, baby!
