Shopping Trips wk of 10/23-10/29---Over budget for October, but pleased none-the-less

I'm still trying to get back to photos, but life has just been too busy.  

I'm pleased if I can get my groceries put away these days!

This week I spent $52.29 and saved $183.36 or 78%.

This means I went over budget for the month of October, but there is a good reason!

There was a fabulous sale on chicken breast at Adams.  It was only $1.29/lb if bought in 10lb bags.  At that price I had to stock up!

Here are the final numbers:

October's budget (October 2-29) = $160

Week 1-3 Spending = $125.44

Week 4 Spending = $52.29

Total October Spending = $178.03

Over Budget by $18.03

How did October go for you?

Wednesday Tip Day--- Use your resources wisely!

One of the most valuable things in life is time.

This means that we have to add that factor when deciding whether a deal is good.

One of the best resources is the internet.

A quick search of the internet can render all sorts of information instantly.

I used to stop by a local chain, (Adams) where I love to buy produce, a couple times a week to check out the sales.  This extra stop could take anywhere from 15 minutes to 45 minutes.  That's a lot of time for browsing a farm market.  I then discovered that Adams ads were available online. Adams is a small store, so it's a simple 1 page PDF that takes me about a minute to peruse.  I can then decide whether the sales are worth my time and compare the prices with Shoprite.  I don't know why I never checked for a website with sales, but I'm certainly glad I eventually came to my senses!

Use your resources wisely!
