Weekly Spending Report: 10/21-27/2012!

Here's this week's spending totals...

• Sunday's Shopper's Trip (2 newspapers, 2 bags trick-or-treat candy for an event): $10.35
• Friday's Amish Market Trip (3 LARGE bags Raw Sugar): $29.97
• Saturday's Giant Trip: $60.10 - UGH!  Why do groceries cost so much, duh, probably because I don't go to the store neat as often as I should!  :-)

Total OOP: $100.42, Ouch!  But we are now stocked up on sugar for a little while, and a few other things.  Next week we'll start with November's budget - I LOVE a fresh start!

Saturday's Giant Trip

Saturday Joe and I had a nice date night.  We stopped into the mall and got our rings checked, and picked up our free candles from Bath and Body Works.  Then we stopped across the street at Ledo's for a delicious dinner and went to Giant to do some much needed grocery shopping.  I should probably start going every week again, and then the bill wouldn't be so high, but I just can't seem to drag myself in any more than I have.  Maybe November will be better!  Here's what we ended up with at Giant...

Weekly Spending Report: 09/23-29/2012!

Things have been crazy around here for the past two months.  After my mom died, it just seems that is has been one thing after the other with our families and here at the museum, so it really feels nice to be back to blogging again - I have missed it so!!!  I have been shopping, but not very often, and not for a whole lot of deals, just scraping by with the essentials.  So, without further ado, here's this week's spending totals...

• Baugher's (1/2 bushel #2 apples for pie filling, cider, and 4 peppers): $14.90 oop
• Staples (1 ream printer paper): $3.18 oop, Earned $3 Easy Rebate
• Giant (various groceries, spent $50 to get the 300 bonus gas points: $54.16, Earned 554 Bonus Gas Points!
• Rite-Aid (4 pks of FREE Stayfree Pads, 2 boxes OB Tampons, 1-4 pk Rite-Aid TP, and 2 bags and candy): $6.53 oop, Earned $3 UP+Rewards!

Grand Total OOP: $78.77 - $6 Earned Rewards = $72.77 Net OOP!  This seems like a lot for me, but I haven't really shopped for much over the past two months, so our stocked up food supply is dwindling.  I am trying to stock up on deals for things we eat/use a lot as I see them to try and get our food supplies stocked back up before winter :-)

Menu Plan Monday: 09/30/2012!

I am so glad to be back to menu planning.  Things have been hectic around here ever since my mom died the end of July.  It seems as though Joe and I barely have a minute to put our feet up before the next item on our agenda is staring us in the face!  It's been good, and bad, but we are making it through.  Here's what's cooking at the Roger's house this week...

Breakfasts: Cold or Hot Cereals, Yogurt with Fruit and Granola

Lunches: Leftovers, Canned Soup with Crackers,Sandwiches, or Frozen Meals
