Did She Do It?

Okay, for those of you following my week, the question at top of mind must be... did Barb really spend $10 or less on groceries for the week and the answer is....

drum roll, please....

YES!!

Not that it was easy! Especially today as my two youngest had soccer games and you all know how easy it can be to spend money on snacks, beverages, and so on. Not to worry, I came prepared with a game plan- water, juice, and snacks packed in a nice small cooler did the trick and we spent a total of $3 on hot dogs (1 for each child- there are just some things worth splurging a tiny bit- and concession stand hot dogs are one of those things for us- makes the kids totally happy and the profit goes towards supporting the leagues.)

So, my grand total for the week actually was under $5! Woo woo!

Continuing this goal for next week will be a little difficult as I have toilet paper and garbage bags on my list... not exactly small purchase items. So, we'll see how I can work that one out... any and all suggestions and links to coupons are appreciated :)

How did everyone else do? Have you set a goal for next week?

I'll be back with more and some discussions on credit & debt reduction... along with my personal struggles and triumphs... stay tuned!

Hugs,
Barb
