limiting myself

So, this past week, I decided that I am going to try to limit the amount of money I spend each week to about $25. Seeing as my grocery budget is $100 every 2 weeks, that gives me an extra $50 to pay for newspapers, ink, and to help pay for things like Christmas and vacations. This is how I did this time.


2 gallons milk
2 jumbo packs, Huggies diapers
2 Gillette fusion razors
5 10pks quaker instant oatmeal
1 Complete contact solution
not shown: 1 Tony's single-serve pizza
I ended up spending $29.50. So it was about $4 more than I had hoped to spend. However, I saved about 46%! That is pretty good in my book. That, and when I was looking through the ads for this week, I found no good deals. So I really probably won't be doing any shopping this week. So really, that means that it ends up being $15 per week for these 2 weeks! I can deal with that.
