So this is a bit later than I usually post my weekly totals but this week has just been like you wouldn’t believe busy with work, a Valentine’s Day surprise trip from DH, & the Ben Rector concert (which was incredible)! In short, since we’ve been trying to keep our grocery budget right at around $40 each week, I’ve added Walmart to my shopping repertoire for our E-Mealz Walmart low carb plan. So, the things I bought at Publix were either close to free or super cheap. I had a rain check for the ground turkey I cashed in on. Because of the meat savings not being calculated on my receipts, PX tells me I saved $12.09 & spent $22.11.
I realized I was going to bust my budget at Walmart this week (with all the staples I had to buy like TP, eye liner, etc) and DH and I had tons of turkey meat so I just got a few things to make a couple of Mexican dishes. We ate out 2 nights this week; once in Nashville for V-Day and once for me w/ friends I wanted to catch up with (don’t worry I had a coupon to the restaurant, ha!). I spent $24.22 at Walmart so we went over our $40 weekly budget by about $4 but since I bought all the ground turkey meat I don’t feel too bad about it. That will save us more money in the long run anyway.
