Last week was not a very spend-y week at our house. We did pretty well with our grocery, household, and gas budgets. Our biggest splurge was on hot dogs and potato chips!
My fella took advantage of a night when I was too ill to cook and treated himself to a hot dog supper, something not often seen at our house.
I've trained him well though. ;^) He used a combination of grocery coupons and gas rebate coupons to get his potato chips for free. He also bought the 2 kg package of hot dogs in order to avail himself of the best price per pound. And he packaged the extra hot dogs in twos, and put them in the freezer to enjoy another day.
He makes me so proud! :^)
