I spent close to $20 today at two grocery stores. I got steak and potatoes for thursday, and picked up a few items, including deli ham for our lunches this week.

well, today is not done (still need celery, cream cheese, onions, garlic, cheese, bacon bits for tomorrow), but i've done well so far

$3.02 - lunch (my allowance: saved change of $1.98)
$1.89 - coffee (my allowance: saved change of $3.11)
$9.27 - 4 12-packs of coke @ CVS (grocery money: on sale 4/$11 and used $2 off coupon. got another $2 off coupon on my receipt and the purchase will generate another $3 coupon in 2 days.)
$15.35 - stocking stuffers at Walgreens (holiday budget: saved $10.49 via sales and coupons)

Oh, and I spent $1.92 on body wash because I'm out. (Used a coupon!)
