This week I tried really hard not to buy items for our stockpile, since we are doing a freezer/pantry challenge this month. I had planned to continue my stockpile shopping at CVS any way, since it usually doesn't involve food stuffs, but I really wanted to curb the rest of my extra spending. Overall I did well. Since I only buy meat on sale or marked down, that means that when it's on sale I need to buy it. This week was chicken. I'm am still really happy with my spending this week, and I am hoping that I can do as well the rest of the month. Here's how it breaks down this week...
