I have been a total slacker when it came to going to the grocery store this week.

It is great that I have not spent a lot of money on groceries.

BUT, what it meant was, I ate out way too much last week.

Let’s see if I can remember everything.

Wed…Pizza Place, Thursday at home…Friday…Mexican Place….Sat breakfast at home…Sat lunch pizza delivery….Sat night Chili’s….Sun morning at home…Sun after church a Japenese Grill place…sun night TGIF…..

How embrassing!!!!

Mama said I would have days like that……….

n the bright side, I do have a bunch of yummy left overs in the fridge though…..

Anywho….here is what I did manage to buy.

Toilet Paper, 6 boxes of Mac and Cheese and 3 bags of the new flavored Lays Potato Chips.

I spent $4.70 at Gerbes for the chips. They were on sale for 2 for $5.00 and I had $1.00 off coupons for each one.

I spent $2.98 at Schnucks for the mac and cheese.

I spent $5.00 for the Cottonell toilet paper, but I had a credit of $7 and something from a previous mistake and I used the credit, so I did not spend anything out of pocket.

Total for the last 8 days, I have spent $7.12 UOP

I had a balance of $288.80

Now I have a balance of $281.68.

I can add another $75.00 for my Sunday update.

This gives me a grand total of $356.68 in my grocery budget.

The new sales add start tomorrow, which means this total might not stay this high for long.

How is your budget going? Have you ever blowned your budget by eating out? Did it make you feel guilty?

Here’s to a better week for me eating at home.

Do I have to count the Subway sandwich I had for dinner?????

I am not off to a very good start.

Blame it on Monday and the time change.
