Started with $80.00, and ended up with $1.50. I have decided that I will roll whatever I have left into the next week, with the hopes that eventually I will be able to not have a shopping week at all.

So, to sum up Week One:



TOTAL SINCE STARTING: $ 78.50
AMOUNT SAVED SINCE START: $ 172.41
AVERAGE SAVINGS SINCE START: 69%
