Staying caught up=FAIL.

I have good intentions, honestly. Like yesterday for example. I lugged home a bunch of stuff, arranged it all really artfully on the counter and guess what? DEAD CAMERA BATTERIES. Awesome.

Anyway, I'm going to make a sincere effort to list all my stuff out. Because I honestly, really, REALLY want to keep up with this.

2/5/11 Kroger- $24.46
Not much this day. Some Mega Sale items and a few other various things we needed. I only saved 43%, which is pretty low for me.

2/5/11 Food City- $20.52
Mostly I just needed meat here. Food City doesn't double coupons, so I hardly ever go there for coupon items. Kroger hasn't had any good meat sales lately.

2/7/11 Big Lots- $19.56
I might have a picture of this trip and if I do, I will upload it. Big Lots is really good for things like trash bags and plastic sandwich bags and I always end up finding unusual little "treats" like Archway cookies for $1.40 a bag and Taco Shells for $0.65. I even found some International Coffee for $0.75! Awesome.

2/7/11 Kroger- $33.22
There is potentially a picture of this as well. This trip was mostly to stock up on Rice-a-Roni and frozen veggies because those were really the only good things they had going that week. I saved a whopping 58% on my total bill, so I did okay.

2/10/11 Amazon- $6.08

I used my Swagbucks and just a little money to stock up on wipes. I have no idea how we go through so many of these things.

2/13/11 Kroger- $73.21
My first Dayton trip. So much fun! I really did get a ton of stuff for the money. I stocked up on Ragu, ravioli, Crunch&Munch and Barbecue. Plus I had to get a lot of the other things we needed that were non-stockpiling. I saved more than I spent, so it was a really good trip AND I got two $3 Catalina's which I turned around and spent on my next Daytona trip. I did somehow mess up my count (I think the cashier forgot to scan one of my items, actually) so I didn't get THREE catalina's, which I expected. But I can't let it ruin my life. It nearly ruined my day because I'm a huge freak like that.

2/14/11 Kroger- $15.62
This was my second Daytona trip...the one I planned to photograph nicely yesterday. All I bought was a few boxes of Ronzoni Pasta (coupons expired today so I had to use them up and I got the pasta for $0.29 a box), Ragu, Crunch&Munch, a couple of gallons of water and lots and lots and LOTS of barbecue sauce. Twelve bottles to be exact. I know the cashier probably thought I was insane, but hey. We use a ton of barbecue sauce. And at that price, it would be criminal not to stock up. I saved 69% AND got two more $3 catalinas to use next time I shop.

Total spent: $192.67
Total spent in 2011: $874.14
Remaining annual balance: $4325.86
Rebate Money Received: $0
Remaining annual balance with rebates received: $4325.86
