Shopping Results--Giant Eagle

Today's shopping trip was so so.  They were out of products for 2 different deals I wanted to take advantage of.  Both gave back catalinas.  I'll be going back to the store tomorrow or Monday to grab those deals!  Other then that it was a very smooth shopping trip.

My little girl couldn't help but getting in the picture today.  She spotted the spinach and that was it!  Her & I love to eat raw plain spinach!  Needless to say, she's VERY happy!

My Monthly Savings Report--October

October ended up being a great month!  I came in under budget again and this is my 2nd highest saving percentage for the year!

October Monthly Budget: $350.00

Total Shelf Cost:			$ 744.02
Total Coupon Savings:			$ 244.06
Total Discounts:			$ 205.01
Total Savings:			$ 449.07
Amount Paid (after rebates):			$ 294.95
Savings Rate:			60.36%

I came in $55.05 UNDER budget!  I'm consistently buying all food, H&B and household goods for a family of 4 for less than $300 per month!  This is a HUGE deal.  Many families are struggling right now.  The economy isn't great, food & gas costs are up and many people are struggling to find work.  With times like these, we have to be smart!  Learning to shop in a sensible way is a great way to save on everyday needs!
