Yesterday, I went to the grocery store and bought my 3 newspapers (which at Kroger for the next 9 weeks, the paper is 1.25 instead of 1.75) and I was so happy, because I only spent $14.70 for my weekly groceries. I am going to go tomorrow to get the deals from this week, since they weren't available last night.
So, I am doing this eat from the pantry challenge and using the things that I already have, we are going to eat Lasagna, Chicken Potpie & Chili this week. Last night, we ate this Chicken Fajita braided bread (recipe from Pillsburty - I used crescent rolls).
So, my budget for the rest of the month is: $85.30
Also, today I paid an extra payment of my school loan
- total paid: $400
- total to go: $14,600
I saw the price drop too and bought even more papers than normal (plus there were 5 inserts). I have some coupons I don't need - do you want them? Or maybe we could start a coupon swap thingy?
ReplyDeleteForgot to mention - good for you about the extra payment. It'll be slow-going to pay it off, but so worth it! God is so good!
ReplyDeleteEllen,
ReplyDeleteYes - we should start a coupon swap... I wonder how this could work..
I am thinking it is going to be slow going - but that's alright :)
