Last Friday I went shopping with Shannon and we had a great time and found some good deals.  Shopping with a buddy can definitely make it a lot more fun. 

We went to CVS first and they had everything that I was hoping to get.  I could have done multiple transactions to make my out of pocket cost lower however they were busy, there was a line of people behind us so I just did one transaction.

I normally try to only get shampoo when it is free but we were totally out so I had to buy some regardless that day.

My grand total spent was $11.46 ($3.06 of the total was tax) and I earned $6 in Extra Care Bucks

My savings for this trip was $58.60, not that I would ever pay full price for any of these items. 

Then we ran into Kroger because I had a pretty good sized list of items I was needing.  I did manage to get 2 bottles of Wisk for $1.99, 2 Bic Soleil Bella Disposable Razors for 99cents each, a dozen of Vegetarian Cage Free Eggs for only 50cents,  Safeguard Soap for only 19cents each and several other deals.   The most expensive thing I purchased was the Laura’s Lean Hamburgers for $9.99

My total spent at Kroger was $109.79 and I saved $57.83

Then we finished up by going to Walmart.  I picked up the rest of the items on my list.  I ad matched the Bumblebee Tuna for 77cents.  The 3 bags of Wild Caught Fish were my big expenses at this store.  I also purchase several items for donation but you will see them when I do my post at the end of the month. 

My total spent at Walmart was $51.80

My Grand Total Spent for the week was $173.05 leaving me only $26.95 in my budget. I will tell you know that I am probably going to go a little over budget this time.  Buy hey I was way under budget last time.
