This month I went over budget a little bit. I began the month
with a $42.22 deficit. Now I have a
deficit to carryover of $43.33. I'll
just have to keep working at it. I did
get free ice cream.
Dollar store purchases |
Our nonfood items
came in a at $24.86. I stocked up on
more dish soap because I found it at a great price and I had coupons to save
even more. I also bought canned cat
food, dry cat food, dryer sheets and plastic food storage bags. My best bargain was a three 200 count bags of cotton
balls for 25¢ each.

Even though I went a little
bit over budget I think I did fantastic.
Lots of good healthy food including loads of fresh produce. How did you save money on groceries this
month? Were you able to find some good
sales and stock up on anything?
This
budget month runs from 6/20/15 through 7/20/15.
