What a week! Thought I had spent more this week, but added up my totals and realized I still have about $15 left from my $50 budget for the week. I don’t think I need anything else, though, so I guess the left over will get rolled over into next week… or maybe I will buy a couple more turkeys at Publix. Or, maybe some more butter. At $2 per pound, can you really have too much butter during the holidays? Christmas cookies anyone?
Total before coupons and sales: $280.81
Total spent, including tax: $34.28
2 Welch’s 100% juice

Not pictured, but included in totals:
A few pictures (my son wanted to put his picture and a note in the Christmas boxes, “so the kids will know I am their friends, because I smile”.)
3 jump ropes
1 pack bracelets
6 slinkys (spelling? It just doesn’t look right, but oh well.)
1 roll wrapping paper
1 toy dinosaur
(I finished off, last minute, 3 more boxes for Operation Christmas Child, so items are already on their way to make some little kids happy… hence the reason they are not in the picture.)
Stores I shopped at were Publix, Walmart and CVS.
