Weekly Shopping Trip for 5/22

While I still spent UNDER my budget this week, there were quite a few "extra" things I bought so my total is a little higher than normal at Walmart.  Part of that was the 3 lb. bags of chicken that I price matched!  I did get some good deals, however, with price matching and coupons.

I shopped at Walmart, CVS and Walgreen's this week.  I did go to Target but they were out of the things that I had hoped to pick up.  I doubt that I will make it back there this week.

It was kind of one of those weeks where I found my self out of several things that I needed at the same time.  I try not to let that happen so I don't have to buy it all at once, but the last few weeks have been hairy busy so I wasn't paying attention as much as I normally do.  It happens sometimes!
