Since I shopped so much last week, I didn't need much of anything this week. With the new month starting, I have all of my grocery money again, so I decided to stock up a little bit this week. We also got a few treats that we wouldn't normally get. :)

(1) Diet Dr. Pepper 2 liter, $1.25
(1) Dr. Pepper, 6 pack, $1.50 (the last one in the store!)

Total spending for the week: $35.41
I anticipate a few "larger" purchases this month out of my grocery/household budget: Zyrtec (can't live without that!), dog food (about $10/bag), and men's multivitamins. I am going to try to spread those purchases out over the next few weeks, depending on sales and when I can get to the appropriate stores.
I'll start next week with $44.59 for spending.
I like to stop at Dollar General as well, and $35 is often my goal also. It's a great challenge! Keep it up.
ReplyDeleteI'm hosting a PIGGY BANK RACE at my blog this month to encourage mom's to save and a winner will get $10.
