The kids are on spring break this week and I didn’t have my usual game face on when I hit the grocery store yesterday. I took all the kids with me to the store…and well…I’ll just leave it to your imagination.
(It wasn’t ugly, but it wasn’t pretty either!)
So it’s a new month, my cash envelopes are full for the month of April and I hit the store. And it hit me back!
Eeks!
Actually, I have a tentative plan to “unshop” and do a pantry challenge the last week of April. We will be hosting Easter at our house this year, and I anticipate lots of leftovers…so I don’t plan to spend much at the store that last week of the month…affording me a little more $$$ to spend each week leading up to Easter. But who knows, this plan may flop entirely!
Keeping in real friends!
Kroger
Another major produce haul. Can’t say I scored any major deals…just shopping sales and used a few store mailer coupons, as well as a few blinkies that I found along the way!
I restocked on a few baking essentials like chocolate chips, baking soda and cinnamon.
Meats
- Chicken breasts, ground chuck and some frozen shrimp
Manager’s Specials
- $.99 Bread Loaf – Went straight to the freezer and I plan to use it for Pizza Loaves later in the month (which I think is hiding behind the bananas)
Total spent at Kroger: $94.50
Total for the month: $94.50

I ended up spending more money at the store this week but I got my a $182 bill down to $112 thanks to great deals plus coupon stacking and a free gallon of milk for next week….not too shabby but sure blew my budget for the week!
