Sunday Shopping

I went grocery shopping yesterday and spent $137.13 at Wal-Mart, over my $120 budget. I bought some bulk items (dog food, 5 lbs of ground beef) but still, I need to get the grocery budget down because it's one of the few line items in the family budget that isn't fixed.
Not to mention that later in the day I made a separate, short trip to Kroger to buy some eggs with double coupons. I don't know if they even ended up being cheaper that way. I saved all my receipts though and plan to updated the price book this week.
I had a bit of a baking spree on Sunday. While it was a satisfying fall activity and my daughters pitched in to help, I need to re-commit to a lower carb lifestyle if I want to keep my blood sugar in check. I'm dragging today because of yesterday's (and, yikes, truth be told, this morning's) cookies and muffins.

What I'm All About

Ever use that perfect combination of waiting for a sale and finding a coupon for a product and think: "Holy Moley, I just got the best price EVAH on this product!"

Then you go home and think, "I got the best price EVAH."

"I think I got the best price EVAH."

"It was a good price."

"I think it was an OK price."

Then, finally, "Dang it all, I need to start a price book."

That's me. And this is my online price book. Feel free to comment to add your best price EVAH on products. I'm building this little by litte and will be trying to post according to product name, ie, peanut butter. Then I'll explain where I bought, how (using coupon or not), my price, and my price per unit.

Enjoy!
