Welcome to CentsAble Shopper Show & Tell!
Today was my first shopping trip with my new plan. I am trying to cut down on my shopping for this pay period (June 19th- July 19th) and only go 3 times.
At the last minute we found out that our roof was going to be scheduled to be installed today. Since it is so loud we went to Grandma’s house for the day. I decided this would be a good time to do my shopping since Rick’s is down the street and I want to go once a pay period to stock up on cereal and snack items.
I decided when I was shopping that I should increase my budget the week I go to Rick’s since I am stocking up for the month. I am going to try to increase my budget $20 this week and decrease my budget $20 on my last shopping trip of the month. So I will have $103 the first trip, $83 for the second, and $63 for the last shopping trip of the month.
Total miles:4.2 miles from Grandma’s and back-I will go to Wal-Mart tomorrow (this will be about 5 miles round trip)
Time Shopping: 1 1/2 hours
Prep Time: 30 mins (needed more time but did the best I could)
