At ShopRite, I spent a total of $33.10 and bought:

4 boxes Cheese Nips (reduced fat)

2 jars peaches

1 container sugar/cinnamon mixture

Anisette toast

Raisin bread

2 packs bagels

2 packs chicken nuggets

2 sirloin steaks

Bananas

3 pounds Gala apples

1 pound of butter

3 packs cheese

2 dozen eggs

At Walgreens, I spent $10.30 in cash and $13 in Register Rewards. Without the Register Rewards, I would have been over budget, so I was glad I had them. I bought:

A 24 pack of water

4 Easter eggs and 2 candy bars (We’re doing family baskets this year and all contributing a few things to each kid’s basket instead of each grown up doing six separate baskets. They’re going to be crammed…)

2 33.8 ounce Listerine

2 30 pack trash bags

I also got a $3 Register Reward on my next order and will get a $4 rebate from buying the trash bags.

Did you stick to your grocery budget this week?
