Another $70 challenge update

We spent a nice day by the pool yesterday.  I wanted to stop at Winn-Dixie on the way home to get the BOGO bread and jelly and grapes for 88c/lb

I tried to convince the husband to stay in the car with the little one because I was just getting THREE things.  But he wanted to come in.  Frugal shopping no-no…don’t let the husband in the store.  LOL!

So we ended up getting bread, jelly, grapes, tuna salad from the deli (extra $2.99) and 2 pints of Ben & Jerry’s (BOGO $3.99).  So my planned $6 trip turned in to $13.84.

Hubs also wanted to stop at Wal-Mart.  So while we were there I got a 4 pack of White Cloud toilet paper for $1 (they are $2 and the August All You had a $1 off coupon) and some bananas at 49c/lb (good price!)  I spent $2.09 at Wal-Mart.

That made my total spent for the day $15.93.  Subtract from the $36.35 and I have $20.42 left.

This presents a small problem because I was going to Food Giant to get the Pick 5 for $19.95 (which is 5 bulk packaged products from their meat department for $19.95) because we are low on meat.  I will have to spend a couple dollars to cover the tax on the meat and hope I get another rebate check this week to keep me under budget!

Thanks, Hubs!  All because he wanted ice cream!
