Super Savings Saturday 4/23

I wrapped up my shopping for April this week. With the rising cost of so many items, including food, I decided to use some of the extra money from the medical section of the budget for groceries, since we did not have any medical expenses this month. That's the great thing about budgeting - it gives us so much flexibility. Overall, I am very pleased with my shopping this week!

Dozen eggs, .99
Total: .99

First transaction
Naso Gel drops, 3.99 (reg. price 4.99, used $1/1 peelie from box)
Total: 4.25, plus I received $5 RR

Second transaction
