I did really well this week…until I took an unplanned “quick” trip to Kroger. In full disclosure, I totally BLEW my budget at the Kroger trip. I am not even listing it here, and I didn’t take a picture, let’s just say this – I won’t do that again!
Oh, well, there is next week and I have done pretty well the last few weeks :).
Don’t you love the faces she makes each week in the grocery pictures? She just loves to take a picture with the groceries…

The Kroger in Donelson has their gallons of milk for only 1.99 this week. This included their sweet acidophilus.
My husband is at the store right now, and I am pretty sure we will have the same groceries!! He’s got the coupons and deals down!
I have royally messed up our budget. You can read about my confession here: http://foodfunfrugality.blogspot.com/. So I probably won’t get to do much shopping for the next month. After that I will need a better game plan. During your Couponing Workshop last Tuesday when you talked about the person who was all excited about all the great deals and that person having to GET all those deals. That was me. Of course, I wasn’t able to do ALL the deals but I was trying to do a lot of them & ended up spending WAY too much money. Lesson learned.
