This week was Spring Break for the kids in my area so my schedule was off a bit since there was no school or sports that I had to work around!!  My husband was home for a day as well which always throws me off!! 

I spent several days cleaning out the boys’ rooms—OH MY!!  It is amazing how much clutter we can accumulate in no time flat!  My boys have way too many toys!! I went through their toys & clothing and had 6 big boxes to donate!!  I even bought a bunch of buckets and containers hoping it would help them organize…yeah right!!  I just saw my four year old’s room and he had buckets stacked pretending it was a mountain…and the stuff that was supposed to be in the buckets littered the floor!!  Oh well…it was clean for a day!

Since I was busy cleaning I only shopped once this week.  I have $7+ worth of items that are not coming out of my budget and instead will be pulled from the t-ball funds I collected.  I also had the funds from the gift card that I won– so technically I spent nothing out of pocket.  I thought I would still post the totals and do what would be the projected savings if I had not used the gift card. 

Had I not had the gift card I would have spent $28.87 (+7.64 t-ball items) for 119.97 worth of products.  That means I would have saved 70% this week! 

I am ready for the new ad to come out–hopefully there will be some great deals for us soon!! I am going to just buy a bunch of meat if there are no great deals as I need to use up some budgeted money!!
