Success!!

We spent the last week eating the canned foods in our cupboards... a lot of soup... We really had no time to get to the store. So on Saturday, I finally made it! We established a budget of $100 for every two weeks in March. I was wondering how I was going to do it with all the food we needed! I went to Target with a little gift card we had left over from the wedding. I was sure I would have to use it with the load of groceries I had in my cart. I was trying to keep track of the amount while shopping.. but I was not completely accurate. I was sure I would need to use the gift card to make our budget. I made it to the check-out feeling disappointed that I went over and thinking about what I could get rid of. The total just kept climbing. Right when I almost said, "I won't be purchasing that", the total came to $97.03!! I could not believe my ears!! I double checked the total on the screen about five times! With a huge grin on my face I told the employee my accomplishment... Hahaha! I was so proud! I am actually excited to go and do it again!

P.S. We had the BEST enchiladas today for Sunday dinner. SO easy to make and SO good!
