This brings my January total to $248.52. $1.48 UNDER budget!!!!!! I still have a $5 RR, and I get $15 worth of coupons for my Walgreen's purchase.
This makes me happy, not only to come in under budget, but to know that I was still able to stock up on meat, and some veggies! This will make next week a little easier as well.

the bread store purchases are impressive...I looooove Sara Lee breads, and I usually get excited over $1.99. Need to find an outlet.
Congrats on coming in under budget! I think I read in the paper Sunday that we could be getting Aldi's in the next couple yrs (lol).
Do bread outlets take coupons? I think there are some Sara Lee Coupons out right now.
Yay!! How exciting to come in under budget and have a good stockpile to boot!! You're doing a great job!
Your veggie prices are really great. I really dont need any more "grocery or HBA" items but I can use some more fruits and veggies.
You reminded me that i need to check on that bread outlet.
I'm enjoying reading your blog. I got here from grocery cart challenge. Keep up the good work on getting rid of debt! We did the Dave Ramsey thing to and it was a major blessing to us. We are now debt free! It really does work!
