that is interesting to me...getting the pantry stocked using coupons is worth it then

The Wegmans trip was for some weird specialty items that I can only get there--things I don't need to buy often, but when I do, they cost. I try to wait until I need several of those things before making the trip to a special store to get them.
I forgot tot jot down my numbers from last week and the days gone so far in this week. I will take it up again on monday.
Done the usual milk, bread and veg run.
Ispent about another $70-00, so I came in about $40-00 under! Well done me!
I am going to aim for $550-00 this month with warmer weather, it might be a bit cheaper, although fruit and veg are pretty bad at the moment!
