My Shopping Trip: Target

Did you get your super cheap Alexia Fries yet?  I sure did.  We LOVE Sweet Potato Fries in this house so I hopped on this deal pretty quick.

And, since I didn’t shop at ShopRite this week, I ran in last night to use my $5 Purina Catalina before it expired.  I didn’t put that in the picture but I’ll list it in the transactions below.  I’ve been doing the same transaction every week while I use up the Purina Catalinas.

My grocery budget envelope is getting big again however this week I plan on buying a lot of chicken at ShopRite, plus, I’ll be heading to the Farmer’s Market.  So, I have a lot of non coupon purchases planned for this week which usually takes a big chunk out of the budget!
