During the first payday of the month I managed to just barely stay under budget. The 13th began a new payday giving me $200 for the next  2 weeks.

First I went to Kroger to stock up on a few items and get some meat.  I used the rest of my tide coupons, picked up several 2 packs of Safeguard, a few Suave deodorants, 4 Old Spice Body Wash and a 12pk of Charmin.  The biggest expense was my meat.  2 Natural Bacon at $6 each, Natural Sausage at $5, Chicken Breasts at $6, 2 Whole Chickens at $5 each and 8 cans of chunk chicken at $1.40 each. Of course there were several other items I picked up there.

My total spent $86.78

I have two Walmart pictures, the one above and the one below.  I didn’t realize until we had almost everything put away that I hadn’t photographed them together.   We have plenty of toothpaste again and we should have enough Cortaid to last awhile.  I picked up the KY because it was a money maker now I just have to find somewhere to donate it.

I also got a couple packages of marked down ground pork.

My total at Walmart was $7.62

At Aldi’s I picked up all the other grocery items from my list that I didn’t have to get at Kroger.

My total spent $70.39

Finally I ran into Walgreens to see if I could roll my Register Rewards.  We needed toilet paper and we needed mouth wash.  I started with $6 in Register Rewards

My total spent was $2.75 and I left with $3 in Register Rewards

My grand total spent so far this payday is $167.54 leaving me with $32.46 in the budget
