Sorry about the lack of updating. Seems the days got away from me. Here is how the later part of my week has went as far as spending goes.
Day 3 - I made a run to Aldi and got the groceries we needed. I spent $54.58. For dinner we had snacks leftover from New Years Eve.
Day 4- I bought a pair of curtains for Kid #5's room from a facebook group. I spent $16 on them. I am as the moment doing a make over on them which I will post about later this week. We are slowly making some changes in her room. I hope to sell her current curtains on facebook and make my money back. I will let you know if that happens.
I also bought some soda and spent $5 for that. Normally we do not buy soda but Saturday was our last family Christmas celebration and we had homemade pizza. They seem to go together :)
Day 5 - I did not leave the house and it was a no spend day! Woohoo!
For dinner we had fried potatoes with leftover green pepper & onion from the pizza and the last of the ham.
Day 6- I did not leave the house but hubby did so while he was out I asked him to get me some Woodchuck to enjoy on my snow day :) He also grabbed some navy beans so he can make ham n beans from our hambone. -$11.97. For dinner we had chicken stir fry from the freezer
Day 7- I have not left the house and I had no spending! Woohoo!
For dinner tonight we had baked ravioli with homemade spaghetti sauce leftover from another meal we had not long ago and a salad.
So total grocery spending for the week is $71.55
Personal spending for myself $16 + $7.95 out of my Christmas money from Day 2
2/10 - No Spend days so far!
Not to bad for my first week. Tomorrow it is back to work and school for me and the kids after 18 days off. I am not really looking forward to it!
Mmmmm Woodchuck.....
ReplyDeleteHave you ever tried the Pear one?
I have never had the pest one.....now I must go in search of it!
DeleteGood job on keeping your spending down! I am ready for the kids to go back to school. :)
ReplyDeleteWe have had 3 ER days used now so I will now have to work 3 days longer in a May. Not looking forward to that at all!
DeleteGreat job this week! I love Aldi. The prices are so good there. I just wish our Aldi had better produce. Every time I go, it's picked over or rotten.
ReplyDeleteI think the key is to figure out or ask when their trucks come. I usually have good luck with produce if I go during the week, but not on the weekends.
DeleteGood job! Is Woodchuck wine? I've never heard of it.
ReplyDeleteWoodchuck is hard cider. I love it!
DeletePretty good in my books as well!! :) Awesome!
