Spoiled for a bit...

So, my mom gave me a $100 GC to Sprouts in December. She "won" it in a silent auction at a charity event and thought I could use it more than her.

I have shopped there intermittently over the years, but not regularly. So today was my final shopping trip - the GC is gone and I have to say I am a bit sad. I loved shopping there, but it is really expensive. I limited myself to 4 trips of $25 each. Each time, I bought produce, fresh baked foccacia and other treats for the kids (yogurt covered raisins, granola). The quality was great - the prices not so much. I did not get much for my $25 - but it was all really good.

I can't wait until I am at a point with my couponing that an extra $25 a week on some extras is not a big deal. I am still in the process of maintaining a stock pile and doing weekly shopping. With 6 of us and a dog - I am still spending $250-300 a month. I would like to be closer to $200.

it'll get there! Just keep at it and before ya know it, you will need a bigger house because your stock pile has taken over! :)
