I just realized I haven’t posted any of my shopping trips in a long time….the reason is that I’ve been avoiding shopping!  For the last month, I’ve been trying to use our stockpile and just have John pick up a few things here and there!

I took the girls with me this morning for a quick trip, and I remembered why I don’t take them!  You’ll see I made one big error during this trip…and it cost me a few extra dollars!

Mega Sale Items:

2 Kellogg’s Frosted Mini-Wheats – $2.99|$1.99 WYB5 participating products
