In looking at this list, it looks like I shopped all week because I went to so many different stores. I didn't! CVS, County Market and Shop n Save were all done in about an hour on Sunday night when the kids were asleep. Doug went to Aldi after work one night, and Meijer was Friday night, mostly because we ran out of cat food.

Week 29
A quick trip to Aldi, and another to Walmart this week. No deal shopping. Still managed to use coupons and save, though!
About 15 at Aldi, with a savings of about $3 off regular retail.
Spent about 14 at Walmart, and saved 2 with coupons.
(remember that I do round UP when I am estimating costs and DOWN when estimating savings. it feels more fair that way.)

I have saved over 2,000 in 28 weeks. How cool is that?!
I spend an average of 49 dollars a week, and save about 73 a week. Which is why I don't feel too bad about going over some weeks. It's just unavoidable sometimes, because of diapers. But thankfully, we are very near not needing diapers anymore.
