Sunday Shopping Spree

dscf0190

This week I came in at $62.92. Oops! I did have a little extra from last week but I’m still over budget by $4.26. This means I only have $35.74 to spend next week.

I went over because I didn’t plan very well. Usually I estimate prices before I go to the store. I was busy and didn’t do it. Plus Stan needed the pre-coooked chicken breasts for his lunch and sunflower seeds. I should have waited until next week but I threw them in the basket because I didn’t plan in advance. Oh well. I’ll do better next week.

I didn’t go to all these stores in one day. I stopped in after work and some yesterday and some today while I was out running errands.
