I ran to Sam’s Club with my mom and three kids because she needed to pick up some things for our church’s women’s conference. I ended up grabbing a bunch of bananas and a 24 pack of Dr. Pepper but she graciously paid for them. I just love generosity.
Then we headed over to Aldi – at lunch time – and I made some poor financial decisions. I should have learned from my HyVee cereal experience not to shop with extra people but it seemed like it would be fine and we really needed groceries. I only spent $45.24 which is really good for me on a normal week. I typically spend at least $50 – $75 at Aldi each week. But I’m on a budget now and $45 is over half of my remaining budget. I did go in with a list and a meal plan but I diverted from my list a bit because I was distracted. No more excuses! I just need to remember to shop alone with the least amount of kids possible.
$40.18 to go. Only 8 more days.
