As retribution for overspending last month, I am trying my best this week to not charge anything. I was able to exchange $20 worth of luau decorations from my daughter's party with Dollar tree grocery items. From non-nutritious study break staples such as Utz cheese curls to bottled jalapenos and pumpkin seeds (15 g protein per serving, 45% DV of phosphorus, 50% magnesium, plus a lot of Vitamin A, folic acid, iron, niacin, magnesium, and zinc), the food section really has a wonderful selection of inexpensive snacks.
I have a bunch of gift cards to use to help me out this week. Our neighbors gave us a $50 gift card to Price Chopper on Thanksgiving. Which was strange, because neither of us really celebrate that holiday (Thanksgiving is every day). I think they were extending their gratitude for when my husband helped jump-start their car and when he and my oldest son broke down their back door the night our neighbors were locked out of their home...
So, I have this card to use, which is great since Price Chopper has a buy one get one free sale on potatoes this week, along with $1.99 detergent. Plus, I have a bunch of gas gift cards from when it was a twice the gas points sale at Stop and Shop and Price Chopper. And, I'll be using my $30 of CVS rewards bucks for food items as well. Cashews and chocolate (another staple) are all on sale this week over there.
We'll see how this goes...
