Things have been going well. There were not too many 'stock up' items on sale this past week, so I was able to stay really low on our budget. We typically spend about $220.00 a week on groceries, diapers, toothpaste, etc... We spent approximately $110.00 this past week, which included a few stock up items. I was pleased.
I then blew it by going to Target. First, we purchased Turbo Tax ($50.00). Then Hubby pointed out we needed bathroom cleaner. So, I whipped out my coupons and decided that based on what they had on sale and what I had coupons for, we should go ahead and get it. So I told Hubby which two Lysol products to pick up...based on the sale... Well, once we got home and I unpacked, it came to light that he had decided on his own which Lysol products to get, so we paid full price (less the $1.00 coupon). A dollar coupon really doesn't do much for a product unless it is on sale though. I was a little mad. And of course, a trip to Target always ends up with additional items in the carriage, so I was a little down after that. Moral of the story, I may need to just always shop by myself.
