One month of the WISH card challenge completed this week.
Spending was up this week as Woolies had some great specials and so I stocked up on some really expensive items. It made for a big spend but as you can read below, the savings were worth it.
First of the expensive buys was $100 on Purina dog food. This was reduced by $5 per bag, so by spending $100 we got 5 x 8kg bags instead of the usual four. This will last the dogs for a couple of months.
Next was $39.98 on 2 x1.5kg bags of coffee beans. These are normally $29.99 each, so another $20 saving.
Then there were the baked beans for $1 a can. I bought enough to save $8 on the usual price. These will probably last for the rest of the year as we only use them to shove in a toastie on the weekend.
Lastly, there were the Kidney Beans for 69c a can, saved roughly 30c a can. Restrained myself and only bought six cans but should have bought more I think.
Added to these bulk buys was the usual fortnightly grocery spend of around $105 plus fuel for my car ($51.25). Total spending for the week $313.03
Oh, but nothing spent from my 'official' stockpile money this week so $40 more added to that. I expect this week to spend around $50 on a top of fresh produce and $50 for fuel for Guitarman's car.
