Welcome to the Weekly Savings Linky here at Frugal ity Is Free. This is where I collect all of my deals from the past week in one spot, so that you can see how my family of five is able to keep a frugal budget. My goal is to keep my family’s grocery budget below [...]

Our visitors have left, and I am now back to my regular shopping routine. I did spend extra this week though, as my middle son is turning six next week, and I have promised him a big party. Thankfully I have been shopping year round for the best party deals, so I do not have [...]
This week I did not do much grocery shopping, as we are lucky to have visitors for two weeks. Instead of shopping, I have been spending a lot of time on the beach, which is the best kind of frugal fun. My pantry is completely filled up, and so is my freezer, my fridge and [...]

I am absolutely horrified by the amount of money that I spent this week, and I am not looking forward to seeing my totals. Still being able to spend the money, when I need to spend it to get the deals helps my family’s budget in the long run. I was able to purchase all [...]
Target’s Christmas clerance finally went to 90 percent off this week, and I spent a little extra on a mini chopper, so I am a little over budget, but I am confident that I will do as well on my grocery savings in 2012 as I did in 2011. See how I saved $7666 on [...]
I have been waiting for this shopping week ever since last year’s Christmas clearance frenzy, so I did a lot of shopping this week. I did get some fantastic deals though, and I am already doing great on my 2012 shopping list. My dad is coming to visit from overseas sometime soon, so my goal [...]
With all three boys home this week, I decided to skip the trip to Aldi for a second week in a row. I really did not do a lot of shopping this week, because shopping with three boys unless it is absolutely necessary is just not my cup of tea. Instead I planned out a [...]
This week I decided to skip my Aldi shopping trip, as I did a lot of shopping last week. Instead I made a big Publix shopping trip, because Publix has some fantastic deals this week. I spent a little more than usual, but it all seems to even up in the end. You can see [...]
I did a lot of shopping this past week, but some of it was for blogging promotions that I will write more about. After all the shopping I did, I am amazed to discover that I only spent $46! That’s $46 for a family of five, and it included a gift.This means that I am [...]
My kids have been home all week, so I skipped a lot of my regular shopping. We have all been sick on and off ever since the boys got off from school last week, so I am thankful to have a well-stocked pantry to last us through the week. I did go and pick up [...]
With Thanksgiving next week I and my boys home, I am not planning on doing any grocery shopping, so this week I spent a little extra. We should have orange juice, milk, meat and veggies enough for two weeks, and we definitely have plenty of eggs. You can see the details of my shopping trips [...]
I went way over my $60 – $70 grocery budget this week, but I had some room in the budget from other weeks, and I had to buy several things for my kids school Thanksgiving feasts and Thanksgiving food drives. I would have spent $20 on the food for the school, but after coupons and [...]
