Annual Budget Countdown

This week was the First Stockpile Creations Challenge and my original goal was to spend no more then $35 this week. Well........ I busted! I went over, but can I just say I got some really good deals and I haven't done the math yet but I think I am officially back on budget after this week. We'll see.............

Dollar General

I used my $2.50 off 1 Electrasol coupon from 4/19 inserts because they had a 12 pack for $3.00

Target:
Spent: $2.02 oop (I used a $5 gift card to pay for some of my purchase)
