Super Savings Saturday 11/12: free baking powder + lots of fruits and veggies!

We are eating more fruits and veggies now as part of a program for our health insurance. We each need to eat five servings of fruit and veggies every day and we keep track of our progress online. At the end of year, we will earn rewards for our healthy habits! Since it's basically free money, and since eating more fruits and veggies is a good thing for us, we're making it a priority now! As a result, we needed to pick up more fruits and veggies so we can keep up and meet our goal.


On Tuesday this week, I picked up just a few items at Walgreens, Festival and the bent & dent store while I was in Mauston for a haircut. You can read the details in this post.
Spent $10.30.
