Shopping High With A Strict Budget

things I got for free and cheap last week

So I set a weekly budget of $75, so far from our $500-$600 monthly consumption back when I didn't have a care in the world. I have grown wiser and frugal in so many ways which is good and hopefully I'll see results in the months to come. I have amassed so much toiletries so we don't buy them anymore. I am concentrating more on food and some household supplies (detergent, garbage bags, cleaners, etc). I am beyond happy I can score drinkable yogurts for cents and kids' snacks for less than a dollar. Saving on those extends my budget and  let me try other stuff which we don't normally buy. I now pay more attention to the price of meat and only buy when they're at their lowest. I still have to know the lowest prices of fruits and veggies, I honestly don't know when they are cheap. Another thing that helps me save money is price matching. If only I'd have the courage and confidence to do it with meat and produce as well.

Lance's Pediasure stock

My favorite Arm & Hammer liquid detergent and Glad bags

I need more pantry cabinets :P

I went shopping last night and today with my friend Jocelyn. I spent $23 and saved about $285! Stocked up on Pediasure, granola bars, scored some cheap chicken, more liquid detergent, 500 Glad bags, free juice, cheap frozen veggies and free razors. I still have to get 11 more of the Pediasure before the sale ends. Sooo happy even though most of the stuff I bought are still on the floor :D
