Today was grocery shopping day and I had a goal - to only spend $74.50. Why that number? Because my budget is $75.00 for everything - Toiletries, cleaning supplies, animal food/supplies, baby item etc. Normally I am anywhere from $5.00-$30.00 over and I get very frustrated with myself! So I took my coupons, bottles to return, and calculator and headed to the store. In the end, I had to put a few items back by eliminating one "fun" item I had thrown into the mix for the week but otherwise, I got what was on my list. This is where it landed:
In case you can't read it - it says $74.98 - I was $0.48 over . . had I double checked my "cheese" drawer before leaving home, I would have seen that I had one box of cream cheese so I wouldn't have had to buy 2 and I would have ended up being about $1.30 under!! Oh well :-) So very close!!
