I know I have been MIA WAY too much lately. Life has been crazy!
I spent a lot more in July than usual but I also purchased a lot for the food pantry and ended the month with over $180 in catalinas to use at Jewel.
Here are my July totals by store:
Kmart: $26.87
Kroger: $71.45 (have a $10 gift card leftover)
Schnucks: $15.40
Meijer: $80.47
Jewel: 270.86 (have $180+ in catalinas leftover)
Walgreens: $61.61 (have leftover Register Rewards - not sure how much)
Total spending: $526.66
$200 reamaining in gift cards & catalinas
Will receive $150 in rebates
Like spending $176.66 ($86 was for the food pantry)
That's a LOT of spending - especially for me! Can't wait to get my rebates back!

We are a family of 5 - with kids ages 11, 8, and 5 - plus 3 dogs. I am a SAHM. I also provide much of the items for my parents household as well. It is just the two of them and their dog. I have been couponing for over 10 years and have it down to a science now. I spend about $200 a MONTH for our household and my parents' household.
