Weekly Spending Summary

Good news- I should have a camera in a week which means that these posts will once again contain pictures! And I know the pictures pretty much make this post in many ways.

I spent more this week than I thought I would but it was partly due to the fact that I had to make dessert for 150 people for a church function. This coming week looks like it will be a lower spending week which has me excited!

I used a gift card that we earned through our credit card to pay for this purchase. I bought some Shout, peanut butter, greeting cards (free after Extra Bucks) and an iron supplement that I had a rain check for.

I actually bought another Huggies diaper package but I am giving it as a gift so it doesn't get recorded under grocery. However, because I bought 3 packs of diapers I got a catalina coupon for $7 off my next purchase and another coupon for $5 off my next purchase! And I'll also be getting a $1 rebate via Saving Star for the Sweet Baby Ray's.
