This week I exceeded my $50.00 budget due to a careless mistake. That combined with the mistake I made last week took me $8.80 over my monthly budget. A lesson to me to slow down and focus better in the store!

My mistake: I read on a blog that Goya beans were only 50 cents a can at Giant after a combined sale and coupon. Not the best price ever, but not bad. I grabbed 16 cans and threw them into my cart without really studying the price. I was shocked when my total came up high, and I later realized that the sale in my area was not the same as the one I had read about. I had actually paid $1.00 per can! I guess we will be having a few rice and bean dinners next month.
