Grocery Spending and Menu Plan(Battra and Zoe, this one’s for you!)

See what you’ve gone and encouraged? I think there are about 12 stuffed animals in this week’s photo! Joshua wanted me to take the photo from a low angle so that they would be more obscured, but this next picture shows my purchases better. 😉

I spent $15.33 at Weis, but as I was looking over my receipt(I always do this before leaving the store), I noticed that my cilantro had rung up for $1.99, not the $.75 it was advertised for. Happily, my store has a policy that gives you the item for free if rings up at the wrong price, so I got $1.99 back in cash. That brought my total down to $13.34.

At Aldi I spent $67.23. Soo, between Weis and Aldi, I spent $80.57, which means I’m $.57 over budget. I think I can handle that. 😉
