Weekly Roundup #40 - Sep 30 to Oct 6, 2012

Each week I list my purchases and what I spent in my Weekly Roundup. You may notice that I haven't bought milk in weeks. That is because I stocked up when it was free at Harris Teeter Super Doubles and froze it. I take a carton out of the freezer daily, and it has to sit at room temperature for several hours, then be shaken up really well to defrost. Otherwise, we end up with ice flakes in the milk and the kids have to use a strainer to pour in on their cereal!

I came in well under budget this week, despite the fact that my husband spent $5.00 on TastyKakes so that he could get some cash back with his debit card and not pay an ATM fee. I would have gotten an apple! I'm especially pleased that I will get back in rebates close to what I spent this week. I will probably break even after Saving Star deposits. Proof that the more you do something, the better you get at it!
