Well I learned my lesson today. Never go to the store without a plan first. Usually I would have put together my shopping plan yesterday but I was sick so I figured I would just go and wing it. Big Mistake!! It took me forever to go through and pull the coupons while I was at the store. Not only that but I know I ended up spending more than I would have otherwise. I went way over my budget last month so I am trying to spend $250 or under this month.
This trip was not a good start to that.

at least the rest of the month. I will make sure I plan better next time.
