So this week I combined all of my shopping into one entry. My deals do not “look” so great this week for a few reasons.

1. Makayla’s Birthday Party and Dinner fall in this week’s budget so I am purchasing a few things that I normally wouldn’t but need to because I don’t have them on hand.
2. I shopped at Wal-Mart and Sams Club which do not figure in sale prices. Most of their prices on the things I bought there are just cheaper there, so the % looks lower.

I shopped at five stores this week (something I do not want to do each week but had to because of reason 1 listed above was necessary). I went to Sams, Wal Mart, King Soopers, Safeway, and Sunflower market. The good news is I finished all today because I got to go alone (a rare occasion). Overall I am VERY happy with my cost coming in under my $150 budget and feel the 5 store were worth it. The news that makes this even better is that I now have all of my items for my Kraft $20 BTS Rebate, that I will submit this week. YAY! I will probably hit Walgreens before the week is over as they are having some pretty good deals this week. Here is the breakdown.
