Tuesday January 25th 2011

This month I am working with a $400 budget cash. This will go towards groceries, my CVS and Walgreens deals, Target, Sams Club etc. It does not include: Utilites, Gas for the vehicles, Mortgage and other home associated fees etc.

So far this month I have stocked up on Toilet Paper (from CVS), Pop/Soda for Matt (also from CVS) and Fruit Snacks/Roll ups for the kids. I have also taken advantage of 2 Amazon $20 giftcards (for a total of $40 one for Matt and one for me) that I bought for $20 for both through the living social website.

Yesterday I was able to snatch up 2 $10 GCs to Papa Murphies, I paid $10 for both (again one on Matt's account one on mine) through Plum District. I should also get credit for bringing Matt to their website.

Now I only have around $10 and the change in my wallet to last the rest of the month. A few things I want to do are:

Go out for coffee with my sister tomorrow, Wednesday. I plan to save there by bringing my own cup and watching what I purchase. I will report tomorrow how it goes.

I also have a coupon book to Coborn's that expires on Saturday. I have 2 books since I have a PO Box and get coupons there. Here is a breakdown:

Cheese 8 oz blocks: .97 will get 4 of them: $3.88
Ramen Soup: $1.77 just one of them unless I decide to wait to go to Aldi's

Oh and MarketPlace has the Flavorite/Cub brand pizzas for 5/$10 so I need to get some of these.... Hmmm this may be challenging. I think my change purse may be getting drained this month.
