oh my gosh!

So I saw the sale at Albies and decided to try to get some cheap cereal, I went in hoping to get it for 67 cents a box, and walked away with 166 boxes of cereal for 34 dollars.

Yikes!!

I figured it out to be 25 and 17 cents a box, depending on the coupons used. I am heading back out on saturday if anyone would like some help doing this same deal I would love to help you!

Ok, so after a few weeks sabbatical I went down to my basement and saw (Yikes!!) I have gaps!
So I said a prayer and wrote down what I thought I needed.
Now, My goal is to spend only 50 dollars a week on groceries. Last week I spent 40 on groceries I needed, so I spent 9 on Ground beef to freeze and replenish my food storage. This week I Only needed:

bananas .58lb. = 4.55,

Suave body wash 1.73 - 1.00 C = .73
Grand total on Necessities = 27.43

New Year - thoughts

I probably won't be posting again on here for a while, We are currently on a budget crunch, which means I will be buying bare necessities for the next few months (fruits, veggies, meat and dairy) and where those don't go on sale very much I won't be spending the time looking for a little while.

Thanks for understanding!
