Publix Trip 6/30 ~ Spent $75.79 (on groceries) Saved $157.06! 67% Savings!

Wondering how I get my Percentage Saved? I use the following equation:

Total Savings / (Total Spent + Total Savings) = % Saved

This included (2) $50 BP gas cards! Everything did NOT go as planned on this grocery trip, but that is okay! =) I had to get rain-checks for (6) Mueller's Whole wheat pasta and (1) Aunt Jemima waffles. They were all out of strawberries ($2) and the Philadelphia cream cheese 8 oz. bricks. I should have gotten rain-checks for these also, but I didn't. I knew I needed to get these somewhere else because I will need them before I come back to Publix. The good news is they still had enough Beechnut Steamies meals for me to get 10! I can NOT pass up free toddler food!!!

+

(2) $50 gas cards 

=

$195.79

-

=

$175.79

$100 of this is gas cards, which leaves $75.79. If you look at my total for all NON coupon purchases, it is $83.24. So, all the items I used coupons on are actually FREE and I got $7.45 overage that was applied to my non coupon purchases, making my total spent on groceries $75.79!

**ALMOST FORGOT to add that 6 of the BBQ sauce & 2 of the salad dressings & 2 of the mustards will be donated/shared. As always, I encourage YOU also to share your abundance!!**
