Sunday Shops! 4/16 – 4/22!

If you’re new to the page, I shop on a $160 $200 monthly budget. This budget is used to purchase all groceries and household needs including diapers! I share my weekly purchases on Sundays and recap my monthly budget at the end of the month.

I am officially changing my budget to $200/month. I have been thinking about this for a bit now…and it’s sad but necessary! The prices just keep rising! There are things that I would have never dreamed of actually paying for…and I am now paying for them! I have also been on a diet (football season really did a number on my waistline!) and lean protein and fruits are expensive!

This Week I bought a total of $193.27 worth of Grocery/Health & Beauty Products for just $45.83 after all sales, coupons, taxes, and rebates – 77% savings!
