Weekly totals - August to current

Oh I really hope this works… I finally sat down and updated my grocery spreadsheet. It has taken me all day to put these receipts in order and tallied.

I am far to lazy to put them in week by week so I am hoping you can see the portion of my spreadsheet I copied.

Here are the totals for all the weeks I have missed.
Week Ending Spent Savings Total Value % Saved
8/15 $132 $61 $193 32%
8/22 $318 $66 $384 17%
8/29 $13 $35 $48 74%
9/5 $40 $29 $69 42%
9/12 $291 $58 $348 17%
9/19 $95 $135 $230 59%
9/26 $29 $58 $88 66%
10/3 $129 $77 $206 37%
10/10 $88 $10 $98 10%
10/17 $11 $64 $75 85%
10/24 $241 $387 $628 62%
10/31 $47 $78 $125 62%
11/7 $122 $33 $155 21%
11/14 $17 $85 $103 83%

So there ya have it. Not too bad overall. For the year, our % saved is 49%. I am very happy with that since this does include our toiletries, diapers and paper products and all of our bulk buying at places like Sam’s and BJ’s.

2 weeks from today

Chris put in his 2 weeks notice yesterday. In his resignation letter he stated his last day would be the 28th of November. Since he happens to be off that day, his last real working day will be the day after Thanksgiving.

I couldn’t be more happy, scared, nervous, excited….

There are a whole mix of emotions going on right now and I am having a hard time turning this completely over to God.

Although I am 100% certain this is His will.

Chris will be going in a totally different direction in his career. He will not be home very often and we will miss him. This will be hard but our family will benefit in the long run.

Please pray for us as a family.
