I finally made it to Giant to spend my monthly rewards from being part of their community. It was really good that I saved it for the end of the month when I didn't have any budget left to get some of the things that we needed and were running low on. I was super glad to have the credit to fall back on so that I didn't have to go hugely over budget.
Check out what I got??
One loaf of bread, 3 boxes of Annie's Mac and Cheese, 5 lbs flour, bag of mini marshmallows, 4 hams, and one head of lettuce. Looking at it now seems strange mix but my son loves Arthur mac and cheese and rice krispie treats. Plus, he currently on a sandwich eating binge so a new loaf of bread is a must. My husband likes ham and lettuce on his sandwiches for lunch. Lastly, we were almost out of flour :)
This is a fun game at my house. I don't know if you do this at your house but groceries are super expensive so sometimes at the store, I feel like I have done better than when I get home and put it on the counter for what I got. Back to the old fight between my husband and mother-in-law when he was growing up... "We have no food!" my husband says "I just spent $200 a few days ago so you better find some food because I am not going back to the store again!!" my mother-in-law retorts. I will give you a hint- I paid with change from my change purse that I found on the ground when we were at the mall.
I will leave a big space so that I don't ruin it if you are going to guess but scroll down for the answer :)
Total OOP $0.24
Total Savings $17.48

Can you guess what I spent?? Can you guess what it should of cost??
