Thrifty Shopper Thursday ~ Aug 12
Aug
12
Budget spent this month: $80.90
Budget left for month: $69.10
Over half of the budget was spent at Smiths. I had a coupon to spend $40 to get double points as well as 100 bonus points for buying at least 2 boxes of granola bars I also got 10 cents off per gallon of fuel and $5.50 off my next shopping order. It took me about 7 months to earn enough points (you need at least 500) to get a rebate coupon now with just last night I have almost enough points to get a rebate with this cycle! I’m okay with spending that much because I bought a lot of stuff including a lot of snacks for JJ to take to school.
