I stopped at 2 Walgreens, and both were out of Clean and Clear.  But I have a little money left in my budget to try and pick up 6 free bottles of clean and clear body wash tomorrow using the BOGO coupon from last months P&G saver combined with the BOGO sale after the Walgreens truck comes in, which will add $36 of savings.


We don't eat pasta often, but when we do I like it to be whole grain so I stocked up with six months worth since it was 75% off. The chips, sodas, and hot dogs will be set aside for an upcoming bbq.  My Dad loves fancy jams and jellies, so he will be getting some for Father's Day.  I always intend to freeze the cheap orange juice, but usually we end up drinking it all before that happens.

Not one of my best weeks (especially with the impulsive snack buying) but certainly not too bad!
