It seems like all I have to talk about this week is what I have been buying. Hopefully it hasn't been too borning for everyone. At least I am keeping up with the budget this month!
Target
10 Vitamin Water 10 $1
10 Starbucks mini chocolate truffles $.90
1 Gillette shaving gel $1.89
1 Fusion power razor $7.99
-10 $1/1 Starbucks chocolate blinkies
-10 $1/1 Vitamin Water 10
-1 $1/1 Gillette
-1 $/1 Fusion
-$5 Target Giftcard
Total OOP $.43, Recieved $5 Target Gift Card (I have a $5 TC that I save and roll for deals like the Fusion/Gillette deal so I don't have to put anything OOP to get in on the deal.
Cub

3 Pom Yogurts $.50
-3 Free yogurt coupons from Patricia

-Free milk coupon
Total OOP $7.90 + recieved free milk coupon
Total OOP Today $12.33
Total spent for the month $39.46
Total left for the month $45.54 + 6 Free Milk at Cub coupons
I'm starting to wonder if I will actually end up with extra at the end of the month. I spent a lot this past week on milk and cereal which has upped my total. I wasn't expecting that. I have enough milk in the fridge for the rest of the month and 6 more coupons for next month. That's almost enough milk to last through the end of May. If they do the twin pack deal again next month then I'll be able to double my milk into 12 gallons. When you look at it that way it seems worth it to have gotten so much cereal/milk this week.

budget Update
Went to Savage yesterday and did this weeks Kellogg's deal. This is how it turned out.
Cub April 10
3 Kellogg's 3/$10

-7 $1/1 MF
-Free milk Cat
Cub coupon for $3.28? twin pack.
-$3 OYNO
Total OYNO $3.59, Recieved 3 Free Milk Cats
I recieved overage on the twin pack. The cashier game me the full $4.69 for the free milk coupon and then used the $3.28 Cub coupon. I think it came to about$1.30 overage that went towards the cereal.
I had forgotten to add at the begining of the month that I had four free milk coupons from doing the Kellogg's deal last month. This is where the free milk Cat comes in.

Pudding
Just a budget update tonight. I took Noah to Cub this even to use the $1.25/3 pudding coupons from this weekend. He had a great time putting all the pudding into the cart. I let him bag it up afterward by himself, he thought it was great.
The large boxes of pudding are also $.50 this week. Makes them a better value then the small boxes, but the only regular flavors are chocolate and vanilla. They also had special ones like Oreo, vanilla with chocolate chips and other things like that.

21 boxes of Jell-O Pudding $.50

I listed the $3 OYNO when I was typing up what I had spend on the inital monthly post, but I forgot to add it to my total left for the month. Just wanted to clarify where it came from.

April Budget
I'm starting the April budget. Hopefully I'll be able to stay on track and actually finish it this month.
I'm thinking I might actually be able to end up under budget this month. My pantry is full to the gills and I am thinking it is time to start using up some of the things that are in there. I'm kind of hoping there aren't that many good sales this month cause I don't have much space to put them.
Also this month I am going to track and post how much I spend on extra coupons. I don't usually order many extras, but I thought it might be good to keep track of how much money is going into that and might be interesting for all of you to see when and where to get extra coupons.
