My shopping plans were quickly tossed aside as I took my sick husband to the doctor this morning. He is sick and whiny. The whining is due to the sickness so I will overlook it. I narrowed my shopping down to two stores: CVS and Harvey's. I did not count the prescription costs in the spending total as those will come out of the medical budget. I had $20 to spend today. How did I do?
CVS: $6.42
Dawn dish detergent - 2
chocolate chip cookies
Pecan Sandies
M&Ms
Gillette razor
Gatorade
60 pictures developed
The food items were to console the sick dh. I did have some extra bucks expiring tomorrow that I needed to use. I was not able to roll them all over, but I did get some usable items out of it.
Harvey's: $16.14
various types of canned chicken soup - 6
honey bun
Tabasco sauce
brown rice
Oscar Myer deli creations sandwich (free coupon)
frozen meals for me - 3
sour cream
shredded cheese - 1 lb
celery
pasta salad mixes - 2
Obviously I was over my $20 by about $3. I think that was okay and am not stressing about it. Sometimes challenges do not work out just right. I could have been $30 over budget. Any planned meals went out the window. I will still have those for when he is well.
The challenge continues!

You got a lot of good stuff for
$23, I don't think in the big scheme of things that $3 is much of a problem.
Hope husbby feels better soon!
