Budget Update - October

This week my budget was $55 (like always).

I made 2 trips.

Kmart $36.09 and Meijer (no photo) $25.14.

Total $61.23 or $6.23 over proposed budget. I should be able to make this up over the rest of the month by being under a few dollars each week. I did have to get Pull-Ups this week which could have put me over the top :) Let's just see how the rest of the month adds up!

OCTOBER FOOD/HOUSEHOLD BUDGET
Week 1 $55, spent $61.23, $6.23 OVER
Week 2 $55
Week 3 $55
Week 4 $55
Total for October $220

My KMart Super Double Deals

My total before coupons was around $108 (I didn't see the exact change.)

I used a $5/$50 coupon first.

Then used a TON of other coupons. The Special K ended up being .50/box. Ziplocs were $1.00/box. The candy bars were FREE. The Hormel entrées were .50/each. The Crystal Light was .75/each. The Pert shampoo was .25. The break and bakes were .99.

My total after coupons was $36.09.

I saved around $70 or 70%!!!

Don't Forget! You Could Win!

I haven't seen any comments from you about this week's challenge. I guess I'll have to keep the treat for myself. As of this morning, I have 3 garbage bags for Goodwill, but have another box to go through this afternoon.

See Monday's post to be reminded of the challenge. Contest ends on Sunday.

Thanks and happy cleaning!
