Eating Out | Eating Out |
We already had the lasagna, hot dogs, hot dog buns, hamburger, and Hamburger Helper kit. All I needed to get was some things for lunches and additional items for the Pizza Casserole. My mom is coming this weekend, that's why I have eating out planned. I am going to try out some dessert recipes this weekend so look for those in the next week or so.
Here's what I got at Walmart:
| Items | Prices |
| birthday card for sil | $3.97 |
| loaf of wheat bread | $1.74 |
| 2 cans of green beans | $0.98 x 2 = $1.96 |
| can of corn | $0.98 |
| small can of peas | $0.78 |
| pizza sauce | $0.98 |
| spaghetti sauce | $1.98 |
| applesauce | $1.98 |
| pear cups | $2.00 |
| peach cups | $2.00 |
| shredded mozzarella | $2.47 |
I spent $21.50 at Walmart.
Here's what I got at Wegmans:
| Items | Prices |
| OJ | $2.49 |
| pepperoni | $2.39 |
| spaghetti noodles | $0.99 |
| elbow noodles | $0.99 |
| pop tarts | $2.89 on sale for $2.50 |
| cookie | $4.44 |
So, I'm just now noticing that I was charged for 2 OJs, but I only really purchased one. Since I'm just now noticing this, there's probably nothing that can be done. According to the receipt, I spent $16.70.
We had a carry over of $5.81 which made our budget for this week $30.81. The grand total spent was $38.20. Went over by $7.39. I had a feeling that I would go over when I put the cookie in the cart, but I wanted to celebrate Michael's first day of school. Would have been closer to budget if I had paid attention at the check out and not bought the cookie. Two more weeks of this $25.00 weekly budget.
