After last week’s big snow, I was glad to get to the grocery store again. This week, I spent $38.73 so far and am planning to spend the remaining $11 on milk and bread. I spent $12 at Mars and $26.73 at Target. I don’t think I’ll detail everything in a long boring list unless [...]

So, the two week grocery challenge will be up on Saturday and I’m not planning any more trips to the store because we’re going to be eating leftovers like Thanksgiving sandwiches. Yum.

So, I didn’t quite stay under $50 for this week’s shopping trip. I fell victim to the “But I really love this!” pleas and dropped an extra $11.54 into the cart. When shopping with kids or even other adults, you really have to be determined to stay on track and not overspend.
I started with Martins, [...]
