Ok, so my first week of budgeting was a total flop. It seems that this was the week that we ran out of basic staples all at once. Add to that things like fresh fruits, veggies, and diapers (which were a FANTASTIC deal by the way) and we were over budget by about $25.
That being said, I did get a few really really great deals. As I mentioned before, diapers. Shoprite had a q in the flyer for B4GO. At $20 per box plus 4 $1.50/1 qs, I paid $74 for 5 boxes of diapers or $14.80 per box. Those of you who buy diapers know that this was an excellent deal. Second deal were Soy Joy bars. Katie has been a very picky eater lately and some days the only way to get protein in her is through one of these. I like to keep some in the house just in case. They were $1 each this week and I had a q for B2GO making them only 3/$2. Not too bad. Bt my very best deal at Shoprite this week were the Eggo Waffles. They were on sale for $0.99 each. I had a q for .75/1 which my store doubled to $1.50. Two waffles were $1.98. So I only paid 0.48 for two boxes of waffles--less than .25 each! But I think the absolute best deal this week was at ACME. There, Ken's 16oz salad dressings were $1 each. Pair that with the $1/1 coupon from the paper a few weeks ago and you get FREE salad dressing.
Even though this week ended up being a bust budget wise, all is not lost. I'm still able to make a (very) small deposit into our Disney Fund. I got a rebate in the mail today--$4.59. Yay!
