This week, I did actually manage to go shopping on Thursday, instead of putting it off until I absolutely couldn’t go not go anymore (like I did the last two weeks!). My husband had a day off on Thursday, and we all went shopping together.
Did you see something in there, behind the ham?
Dark chocolate covered marshmallow pumpkins were on post-Halloween clearance, and my husband insisted that I buy some (I’m easily persuaded when it comes to marshmallow confections!).
At Aldi, we spent $65.93, and at Weis, we spent $37.92. That makes for a total of $103.85, which is $3.85 above my weekly average goal.
However, I only spent $64.62 last week (woo!), aaaaand I will be getting $5 back from a rebate (for the crackers I purchased). So, everything is hunky-dory with my grocery budget. I have $231.53 of my $400 grocery budget left for November, and I just have to make that last for two weeks.

BTW.... marshmallow confections seem to be a New Zealand specialty. They seemed to be everywhere and in everything! You should go sometime. ;-)

Jinger, that recipe was not at all the same as Fuddrucker's buns. The husband and I had a date last night and went to Fudd's, so now I have a better idea of what I'm trying to replicate.
Amy, hello! I didn't know you read my blog! Good to see you.
Maria, Oregon Chai is the stuff I bought on vacation....SO good! I do have a mix we've been using, and I'll try to get that posted this week.
