I was really
fortunate to have some extra cash this month, because the deals I found were
nothing short of amazing. With my new
dietary changes the timing couldn't have been more perfect. I really feel prepared and that is huge!

| Markdown meats and a FREE rotisserie chicken! |
I spent the first
half of the month working off of my bonus budget which I shared with you
yesterday. Then I took my usual $150 and
continued on. I downloaded gobs of
digital coupons to my rewards cards and checked my receipts to make sure they
were all applied to my purchases. I also
picked up loads of items on sale to pair with those coupons, but also from
markdown bins too. That really helped me stretch my food
dollars.

How about that? I did go a teensy bit over budget, but all in
all I'm quite satisfied with everything I got and the prices I paid for them
too.
