This was a good week for milk and cereal at Giant - things we use a lot of. I ended up with 5 catalinas worth $3.75 each on a gallon of milk AND a catalina good for $7 on my next shopping trip!

Okay, I went 18.12 over budget this week, but I don't mind because I did so well last week.
Also, I still have about $20 left on my Subway gift card!
We had plenty of good meals this week from my stockpile and freezer, so even though I didn't buy anything except for dog food, cereal, milk, soda, and candy we didn't starve! The baby food will be donated.
I did have to spring for a loaf of bread with no coupons - I hated doing that, but my kids pack sandwiches for their school lunches every day, and I didn't have enough drugstore rewards to get a free loaf this week, which is my usual strategy.
Total for January to date: $79.92
