I didn't do as well this week as I have in weeks past. This was due to several reasons. One of them was that this week, I had more 'need' items on the list than usual, which left less room for 'stock-up-on-items-on-sale' items. If you'll notice, I was also over budget by $16.00. That is because I received this lovely coupon on checkout:

Which will allow me to spend $10 less next week to help balance things out a little. So, I guess you could say I'm actually only $6 over budget??? Oh well, at least I have some scrumptious meals planned for these 'need' items (see menu post below).
