Work got in the way...

Yes, work got in the way for JAU & I...we will be back - check back in a few weeks - September will be better...and let the comparison really begin!  We need to...I'm dying to know if couponing is worth it.

MMM: Wed 8/9: $8.42

I didn't bring my lunch again - even with that nice bread & lunchmeat (as well as some good leftovers).  Instead, I opt'd to eat lunch in some good company.  I think this type of activity will be a new trend.

MMM: Tues 8/8: $77.43

Jewel trip: 77.43

This was all the remaining from the weekend's normal grocery - along with some deals: ribs, pork tenderloin, etc.  I forgot where I put my receipt - but I think I'm done with groceries for the week.

MMM: 8/2 - 8/4: $40

We did good on vacation - we only ate out 2xs (that we paid for :)...thanks mom & dad ) - $40 for pizza.  Papa Johns...living it up like the college days.

MMM: Mon 8/8 $8.65

I almost forgot...I didn't pack my lunch on purpose...so instead I went out for lunch downtown - it was worth it!

MMM: Mon 8/8 $22.81

Getting back from vacation is tiring - I'm only making one trip to a store a day...might as well be extreme couponing :)

Target: $22.81
Groceries - trail mix, condiment sauce, 2 betty crocker individual dessert things, little raisin packs, jelly, condensed milk
Others - shampoo, ziploc snack bags, bathroom dixie cups

...Still not done with my full list...need to get to the main grocery store for the remaining items...that's tonight's chore.

MMM: Sun 8/7: $82.32

Grocery Stop (though not done with my full list for the week yet):
Trader Joes: $25.37
2 Bread, Veggie Kebobs, Hummus, Chili Sauce, Yogert & 3 bags of popcorn

Aldi: $56.95 (34 items)
5 drinks: Juice, OJ, Milk, Creamer
10 Fruits & Veggies

Fudgesicles :)

JAU: Wed. AUG 3: $21.39

Dang, I need to get focused. Being out of town over the weekend has really thrown me off. Had to make a quick trip to Krogers again.

Krogers - $21.39
2 Cauliflower
2 Host donettes (this is what happens when you quick trip includes a kid)
2 salad mixes
1 can of tomatos

Maybe MMM should get back from vacation so I can feel pressured to find better deals!!!

JAU: Sun. July 31st: $105.93
