Update on Lunch Challenge and Other Stuff

July 10th, 2010 at 09:18 pm

Well, Friday I was not feeling well and so did not go to work. I did have to go to the grocery store and get a couple of cans of soup, crackers, and juice, though. So, I guess I did spend money to buy that lunch.

So, I am still doing the Lunch Challenge. Here are my lunches for the next week.

1) Romaine lettuce salad with Starkist tuna, carrots, olive oil for dressing, and a little salt; apple; handful of almonds; 2 tea bags; bottle of filtered water from home

I am so proud of my grocery shopping savings today. Hellman's mayo was on sale for $2.99 at Walgreens today. I also had a couple for $0.75, bringing the total way down. Hellman's mayo is usually over $5.00 at the grocery store, so I was thrilled. I also needed Q-tips, which I had a $0.30 coupon for. At my grocery store, I took my fabric shopping bags with me and got a $0.05 per bag discount. I had a store coupon for $1.50 off if I bought 4 bags of frozen veggies, which were on sale for 10 for $10.00. So, I bought four! I also needed to buy about 10 to 12 oz of canned chicken to make chicken sandwiches later in the week. I was going to buy the Swanson's canned chicken, which was on sale for $1.99 for a 5 oz can. Then, I noticed the Hormel brand was on sale for the same price and I had a $1.00 coupon if I bought 2. Knudsen's juice was on sale BOGOF. I needed to get Friskie's cat treats for my furbabies. The treats are always $1.69 unless on sale. I had a $1.00 coupon. The biggest surprise was that I needed to get some Scotch Brite sponges which were on sale 10 for $10.00. I had a coupon for $1.00 off if I buy 2, so I got 2. I saved $16.54 just at the grocery store and $3.05 at Walgreens.

Oh, I also added $20.00 each to my car savings and professional memberships/conferences accounts.
