Money Savings - Week 1

I think this is the resolution I am most excited for! There is such instantaneous payoff and it feels really good to accomplish it. Losing weight is the one I am most anxiously awaiting, however it is also maybe the hardest (that and the budgeting!!). Anyway, here is my very first week of money savings!!!

• $.95 clothes (from shopping at New York and Co wicked good sale!)
• $45.01 microwave ($95.01 if I would have ordered it online like I was originally going to do through ebates)
• $1 - Freebie travel size Colgate Total Toothpaste
• $1 - Luvs on sale at target (if I had investigated could have prolly got a coupon, too, but was last minute since my sick baby was going through diapers FAST) - also goes towards $50 spent on P&G products to get $120 coupon savings booklet!
• $42.33 at Target (stockpiling gifts and wicked good holiday clearance items!)
  
• $23.89 at Cub Foods (40% of total! and received $2 catalina for next visit.)
• $3 at Walgreens (with a $10 RR) **note** we used out flex spending card for this (given by hubby's company to help offset the rise in healthcare cost this year! yea!)
• $5.56 at Cub Foods (15% of total, but also received $15 catalina)
• $29.65 at Cub (63% of total) (last trip this week! Promise!)
  

Total Savings (really was just a few days, since I wasn't keeping track all week)
$140.13 ($190.13 if you count that I almost bought my microwave online!!!)
