I made two more shopping trips today. Neither of them were fantastic, but everything I bought was on sale, and at Target, I had coupons for everything.
The best deal was the cereal, which after the sale price and coupons, ended up being .99¢. The MarroBones are to take home to my Frankie. This trip cost $17.34.
The Ralph’s trip was to pick up some stuff that Sailor Boy and Mr. Furious specifically asked for. Fortunately, again, everything was on sale. This trip was $29.13.
Total damage was $46.67. Which, if you’ve been paying attention, you’ll know puts me $35.47 over budget. I was planning on taking it out of the grocery budget from next payday, but instead, I decided to use money from the household fund (since I actually still had money in it). Now Mr. Furious and Sailor Boy have PLENTY of food for the next 3 1/2 weeks and I still get to use all of the next 2 payday’s grocery budgets for the trip home. Yayyyy!
My husband is going to the field on Sunday, which means my food bill for this next pay day has gone WAY down. 🙂 Just in time for my birthday!
