May 11 Shopping Trips
I made an extra trip to the stores this Friday. I redeemed a $20.00 gift card at Whole Foods Market from Ibotta and used it to purchase our Mother's Day meal. My family eats a lot of cheese so I picked up another block of cheese at Costco. Next month I will put 2 blocks on the list to avoid the extra trip.
May 8 Shopping Trips
Another Tuesday and I am off to the stores. I've shopped earlier in the week this month, taking advantage of the sales and coupons. Earlier this year I missed out on getting free toothbrushes because by the time I shopped on Friday the selection was picked over. I had the maximum 4 coupons for Shoprite but was only able to use 2 of them after finding the toothbrushes mixed in with other brands.
I spent $31.06 at Aldi
I spent $33.72 at Shoprite.
The laundry detergent was FREE. Shoprite had it on sale for $1.99. With a 2 $1.00 clipped coupons and 2 $1.00 digital coupons, I paid nothing! Also, I earned $5.70 on the detergent, Veggie Fries, and hotdogs.
I spent $1.50 on food and $14.92 on Household/Personal Care products.
April 30 & May 1 Shopping Trips
This month has started off with a large portion of the grocery budget spent. However, that was planned when I ran out of staples at the same time. I also took advantage of The Fresh Market's Chuck & Chicken $2.99 Tuesdays to stock up on meat. Our nearest Fresh Market is a 20 minute drive so I decided to go to Costco on Monday, April 30. Leaving the 4 stores for Tuesday.

- 5 lbs. of Ground Beef
- 5 lbs. of Chicken
