What I got this Month While Staying Under Budget

This list amazed even me when I saw how little I spent this month so check it out and the totals are at the bottom of the list.  I did end up giving a bunch of yogurt and some of tea bags to my mom when she was here visiting.  I think that she did a little shopping in the cupboard to take some Shout and a few other items like a package of socks that I had bought for my husband.  I am not really sure if she just likes shopping so much that she can't stop but she went home with a bunch of bags of stuff but I can say that she bought some stuff at Aldi's and Target for us so I am sure it works out evenly.

What did you get this month?  Did you stay under budget?

Not sure if it was because I was working so much or because I had a sick son followed by me getting sick but I did great this month at the stores and didn't spend that much but got a bunch.  I must have made my trips really count!!!  There were also a lot of great catalinas which doubled during super doubles and the General Mills promotion which I rolled a lot to get free groceries (and my $10 Giant community credit which I get monthly for being chosen as an active member every month).

Total Retail $641.21
Total Savings $606.15
Total OOP $35.06

    1. I think that this might be my lowest total ever but I haven't bought any meat for awhile so I am hoping that all this savings will give me a little more flexibility when it is time to stock up on the summer grilling season.
