Budget BUST!

Well, it's official. I TOTALLY busted my budget this month! So badly, I don't even want to tell you about it. But, I did get 30 lbs of cat food for $18 ($0.10 less per pound than the local warehouse store). I'm going to share some of the deals here, because it's important for you to know that I did stock up on things that I will use in several recipes over the next several months. i.e. I shouldn't have to buy pasta sauce for at least 3 months! And cat food for that matter. Anyways, overall, I did save almost $500! I'd say that's more than 50% savings. I'm going to try to be really good this month, and I shouldn't need lots of things. (I tried to include amount of each if I remembered.)

Here are some of the things I stocked up on last month:

(6) Ronzoni Healthy Harvest pasta: $0.79/2 boxes - normally $1.79 EACH
(6) Newman's Own Pasta Sauce: $0.69/jar - normally over $2.00 per jar!
(10) Hunt's Diced Tomatoes - $0.55/can - normally over $2 per can!
(9) Purina Cat Food 3.5 lbs - $2.00/bag - normally $5-6/per bag
Cereal - $1 - $1.50 per box - normally between $3-$5/box
(8) Eggo Waffles - $0.68 /box - normally $2.36 per box
(8) Glade Oil Twin Refill packs - $0.75/box - normally $5.49 per box!!!
(3) Glade Oil warmers - FREE - normally $3.99 each
(6) Boxes Green Giant Frozen veggies - $0.50/box - normally $1.99 per box

And there were MANY more things! I'm pretty sure my grocery lists will be pretty small this month (unless I find an EXTREMELY good deal). In fact, I will only have to pick up a few things from Costco until my meat all runs out.

I've also decided I'm not buying bread ever again! I think I've gotten raising yeast down to a science, and I love it! Fresh bread tastes so much better than store bought! Now, to eat the several loaves in my freezer to free up space for more storage!

TTFN!

Love,
