Each Saturday, I detail what I spent and saved at the stores; this weekly post is my way of keeping myself on track for my weekly budget goals in 2010.
I hope that by sharing what I saved, you'll be inspired to keep couponing week in and week out. Over time, your stockpile of high-use items for your family will grow and your total weekly bill will keep coming down, down, down!What I Saved at the Stores: Week 8 (Feb 22-28)Kroger (2/22)Spent: $33.11Saved: $43.58 (57%)For the full breakdown of the deals I found and the coupons I used, read my weekly Let's Go Krogering! post.Aldi (2/22)Spent: $16.02Saved: $0.00--------++++++++++++--------Weekly Totals

My weekly goal for my grocery/household budget is $80/week. With this week's total, I'm under for the month, coming in at just about $290 spent and $407 saved in February. Coming under budget for the month is exciting especially since I have so many goodies stockpiled in our pantry and freezer. I know I'll be able to stick to my budget for March as well.
