On the previous week I has spent $151.72 which was a lot for me but this was our first full blown organic/natural shopping trip and we really just went gung ho and bought what we wanted.  That left me $48.78 in my new $200 a payday budget.

First I stopped by Aldi.  Although these Pineapples are not organic they were only $1.50 each and I figured they would be great for smoothies.

I bought 4 and we ate one fresh.  The rest I cut up and put in the freezer.

Total Spent $6.06

Then I went to Walmart for Organic Milk, Almond Milk, Organic Broccoli, 2 containers of organic lettuces, almonds and walnuts.  I bought several other non-grocery related items while there so I am not sure about tax.

Total Spent $31 +tax

Then I tried a few different times to go to Fred’s to get the free Gain Liquid softener, however they were sold out.  So then I decided to go to Walmart and price match the ad.  When I got to Walmart I discovered that Walmart did not carry the same bottle size that Fred’s stated in the ad.  So I saw these 80ct dryer sheets for only $3.12.

4 Gain 80 Ct Dryer Sheets @ $3.12 each

Used 4 $3 off coupons

Total Spent. $1.04

And last but not least I made a small order on Amazon.  This is not pictured because it is not in yet but it falls under this week for purchase.  I ordered Coombs Family Farms 100% Pure Organic Maple Syrup Grade B, 32-Ounce Jug and Nutiva Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, 15-Ounce Tubs (Pack of 2) which is still on sale.

My total spent was $33.62 (and I paid with money I earned here)

My Grand total Spent for the week was $71.72 which makes it $223.44 for the payday.  I am over but I decided that order to Amazon was needed and I am sure those items will last us a while.
