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.
Fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThanks Anne! I think that is a lot of food for not a lot of $$.
DeleteI admire your ability to handle your life so well. Not only with these grocery finds, but in other areas, too. It's so nice that you and your daughters seem to work together so well.
ReplyDeleteThank you Carole for saying such kind things. We are quite a team. :)
