I included this week in April's budget because I did most of my shopping this week on the last day of April.  After a LONG break from CVS, I was able to stop in and get a good deal on my Benefiber.  I have missed coupon shopping, and I hope that this summer I can get back into the swing of things.  Below is how my shopping went this week...

• Sunday's ALDI Trip: $38.29 oop (included, but not pictured are 8 gallons of H2O) 

• Sunday's CVS Trip: $12.37 oop, Earned $0.12 Find and Save Rebate

• Monday's ALDI Trip: $2.97 oop (no picture, just Corn Chips and Peanut Butter Bars for Joe)

Total OOP: $79.67
Total Earned: $0.12
Total Remaining from April: $41.22!!!!!!!

Weekly Spending Report: 04/09-15/2017

This week I did quite a bit of shopping, but events season is in full swing around here, and I have had to alter the way I shop.  Usually I do my weekly ALDI/Giant/CVS trips on Sunday with a quick stop into the Dollar Tree on Saturday (all as needed of course).  However, with things being so busy around here, I have needed to get more of my shopping done on Saturday, to keep Sunday more open for work.  All that to say that over the next few weeks, you will notice that shift.  Any-who, below is my BIG spending for this week in April...

• Sunday's ALDI Trip: $45.37 oop 

• Sunday's Giant Trip: $37.62 oop

• Saturday's Dollar Tree Trip: $19.84 oop

• Saturday's ALDI Trip: $36.62 oop

• Saturday's Giant Trip: $27.70 oop, Earned $0.35 Mobisave Rebate (Beef), and $0.75 Ibotta Rebates ($0.50 Beef, and $0.25 and grocery item)

Total OOP: $167.15
Total Earned: $1.10
Total Remaining for April: $234.16
