Over Budget this Week

I blew through my $50 budget. I knew I was going a little over budget when I found the Manager's Special on burger at Dierbergs, but I had forgot about my Aldi trip. I was a more than a little over budget this week.

Shop 'n Save

The picture is missing 5 boxes of Kitten Chow. I used my coupons for a free box and gave them to Gloria, the woman behind me in line. I don't have a cat, but I bought them because I knew I could find someone who could use them. Thanks Gloria, for taking them off my hands.
