Dave, a lot of people use the blue tank but they are a bit pricey, or were back when we had one.
You can probably do a week without dumping if you are careful. Turn water off and on as needed when showering, etc.
The thing I find helps us the most is one of those $20 twist on gate valves from Camping World. It's a dump valve and it goes on the dump pipe the same way your sewer connector do. With that you can close that valve and open both grey valves. The two 38 gallon (each) gray tanks will now share capacity. Since we don't fill up the galley tank nearly as quickly as the shower tank, this really helps. It extends time between dumps by 2 or 3 days or more, depending on how much showering you do, etc.

Dave, I gotta go along with Steve on this one. Take the money for that blue tote and spend a small portion on the gate valve Steve is talking about. Than while still at CW take the rest of the money and buy something else that you really need (or at least think you need).
We have the same set up as Steve and it works great.
If it is just you and Cheryl and you are a bit conservative about water going into the tanks there is no reason you cannot go a week without dumping. Also you say "a week" but that is probably taking a day to get there and another day home so your actual camping will probably only be 5 days.
One easy way to conserve water is doing dishes. Wash the dishes in a pan and save that dish water for flushing the toilet.
