Well, this week I definitely spent way more money than I wanted to. However, I did save a lot (72%) so I’m happy. I bought organic milk and eggs. And I bought strawberries, tomatoes and ground beef. Usually I don’t buy any (or much) produce because we belong to a weekly coop. However, we’ve been taking the past couple of weeks off of the coop since my husband has been in Africa. So I guess I can figure that the money I’ve saved on the coop, I put towards this week’s shopping trip? I was really excited about the Finish Power & Free Quantum deal. And I needed mayonnaise so the Hellmann’s Olive Oil mayo & ground beef deal made me happy! I splurged on the Ben & Jerry’s deal. Let’s be honest, I don’t need any ice cream. But I’ve had such a long past couple of weeks, so I really think I’ve earned it!
How did you do this week? I would love to hear! Please leave a comment letting me know how you did!
Please remember that you do not see much produce in today’s shopping trip because hubby and I belong to a weekly coop. So, every week, we get a bin full of around 40 lbs of fruits and veggies. We also have stocked up on boneless, skinless chicken breasts and ground beef with Zaycon Foods. **Right now Zaycon Foods is taking reservations for their upcoming Thighs, and Wings Events!

Thanks for coming to Addicted to Saving! Here’s a little bit about me so you can know who’s behind all these posts!
My name is Liza and I began my money-saving journey in the Spring of 2009 as a way to stretch a limited household income. I had lost my job and my hubby was self-employed. I launched Addicted to Saving in November of 2009 and it has grown by leaps and bounds. Since then, my hubby and I have struggled with the ups and downs of two failed adoptions and are now LOVING being parents to our little man Asher who we brought home from Ethiopia in August of 2013. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to help you save money. My goal is that you will have FUN and become empowered to save more and more money each week..
You should join the Driscoll’s Consumer Panel and use the code off the bottom of your berry package to take their surveys. It only takes about a minute, and you get a coupon by email after each survey. You get .50/1 on your first 4, then .75/1, and after 15 you get $1/1. http://driscollspanel.com/survey/dri/dri10003?list=1
