Super Savings Saturday 2/26

With this being the last week of the month (for our budget, at least), we used the money we had left and grabbed a few things while we were in Tomah last weekend.

Walmart
(1) Bakery reduction (sourdough loaf) 1.50
(2) Diet 7Up 2 liters 1.25 each

(4) Yoplait Light yogurt cups 0.50 each
(1) Oscar Mayer cotto salami 2.00
(1) CFL lightbulb multipack 5.94 (reg. price 7.94, used 2.00/1 printable)
Total: 16.07

Aldi
(1) Shredded cheddar, 16 oz. 2.79
(1) taco shells 0.99
(1) flour tortillas 0.99
(1) Long grain rice, 3 lbs. 1.69
(1 pkg.) ground sirloin 7.03 (about 2.5 lbs.)
(1) mild salsa 1.69
(1 pkg.) Boneless Skinless chicken breasts, 3 lbs. 5.49
(1) french onion dip 1.09
Total: 21.76

Kwik Trip
(1) Dozen large eggs 1.09
(1) Half gallon milk 1.59
Final price: 2.68

Total spending this week: $40.51
Total spending for February: $162.51 ($160.00 allocated)

We went just slightly over-budget. I actually thought it was going to be a little worse! I included the lightbulbs in this category since we don't have a "home maintenance" section in our budget. We rent now and therefore spend very little on home maintenance. Overall this month, we ended up significantly under-budget, which means that we have extra money to throw on one of our loans!
