I hit the recycling bins on my way to the train on Wednesday mornings. My DH is completely mortified when he catches me at it.

No oops today and I have a ton of food left over from a party which will last the week!! so I am hoping not to spend much this week. Plus kids only have two days of school this week so no oop for lunch on them.. I need to get my spending a little more under control this month.

This ought to be an interesting month...

ShopRite: $93.53 (saved $44.23) on various necessities. Included a couple of Okios yogurts free after coupon, and two bags of Hefty trash bags at $0.24/each.

I have 6.99 in ECBs and nothing I want to spend them on, so I'll probably hold them until next week.

So, for November $93.53/$200.00. Yikes!
