Updates

The last couple of weeks seem to have been busier then normal. I still haven't finished up on last months budget, let alone started this months or posted a shopping list for the last two weeks.

I no longer have the receipts for the last week in June, but think that I remember what I ended up buying.

As for last week I spent a lot of time at Cub. I think I was there at least once per day last week. It paid off as you will see. Not all the trips were for me also. I helped mom and Becca with the Planters deal because you needed to go through so many times to use all the coupons.


June
I went to Target on the 25th. I was going to get some cheese and a bunch of other things. Nothing I really needed. I thought my total would be around $1.30. Things ended up going terribly wrong. They didn't cut the right cheese and then each bag ended up costing around $1.70/$1.80 instead of $1.05 like it had been. Even after that I had figured out a few things for overage so that my total should have only been $3.xx. In the end it was $9.70. My plan was to return a few of the things that should have had overage, but instead the coupons weren't even scanned. My real total would be $4.16

I made two trips to Rainbow and ended up getting a bunch of bertolli pasta sauce pouches at Rainbow. They were $1.25 and I had $1/1 coupons for them. I think the total as $6.50

I also found a recipe for 6-30
10 bags AF cheese $11.13
AF Chips $7.12
After coupons $.25


Total spending $10.91
Total Spend this Month $81.85
Total Left for this Month $3.65 + $5 OYNO @ Cub, and 2 Free milk up to $4 at Rainbow
