Weekly Shopping Savings--$192.57

Well the sales this week couldn't keep me away from the stores! I still haven't learned or have developed strong enough self-control to not pass up good sales especially when I have coupons for the sale items!

I purchased $396.97 worth of products for $204.40!!! I was able to do this because for the month of August, I didn't even hit $300 for a monthly total even with so I had "extra" money to work with for the month of September.
