I don't post a lot of my "regular" shopping trips on here. I used to,
but I never know if it's helpful or if it bores people. But in a way it
kind of holds me accountable to what I'm purchasing, even though it all
goes onto my spreadsheet, so I'm going to try this for the month of
April. Every week I'm going to post my "everyday" trips to the stores to
show you what I'm buying. I'm trying really hard to pay attention to
our purchases this month to see where we can improve. This also means
for the month of April I'm going to try to get back into the drugstore
game a little bit. I used to be huge into Rite Aid and Walgreens, but not for about six months.

My total spent this week was just over $23, and I only saved about 16%, but I'm okay with that. It's because I did the big shopping trip at Walmart, and did the shopping trip at Dollar Tree with no coupons. But I still feel like I stayed way under budget so I'm happy.
How did you do this week??
