Saved the budget by

January 14th, 2013 at 04:09 am

picking up two RXs for daughter and getting 2 -$25 gift cards to Jewel. That will definitely breathe a bit of life into the almost dead grocery budget. This week we're eating from the freezer: meat loaf, chili, and some chicken veggie stirfry. We do go through a lot of milk/bread/eggs at my house.

I skipped the ads and coupons again this week. My mom is saving her coupons for me. I'm already starting my grocery shopping list for Sam's Club for next Friday. I'll have to work that in for at least a biweekly trip; my picky eater likes Fiber One bars and Danimals, at least I'm assured that he's getting calcium and fiber.

Spent money on miscellaneous craft items for the science fair board. Unused stuff goes back tomorrow so I'll have an accurate amount spent - I think about $8 after using a $9 store credit. DH and sons spent $5 on something for the Pinewood Derby coming up in two weeks.

    It's interesting how many folk, myself included, are working to clear their pantries of the holiday backlog of food. Since its just DH and me, it's taken about two weeks to get through the bulk of it. I could probably go another week but I may not be creative enough!

    Nice score on the gift cards! :-)
