Seriously. When did this happen. Holy cow (literally). I do not go through milk like most do. And I usually get it on sale at Kroger, however, in my effort to not spend more than 600 a year on food, I am trying to start this year in December and use up the rest of my Wal-Mart gift card.
Which means buying milk at Wal-Mart.
Which is the devil.
Seriously.
Anyways, I figured I would keep everyone updated on what I am doing. We had 23.95 left over on the gift card. And I need milk. Why waste a trip just for that. So I sat down to see what I could get with that 23.95.
And as luck would have it, because I literally have no more than 23.95 plus what i have to pay in tax out of pocket, to spend, I sold something for 10.00 on a yard sale site. Praise the Lord. Literally. I needed that 10 bucks.
I am trying to not spend any more of MY money this year on food. Gift cards, selling little things, donations thats not MY money. Its extra that I consider gas money or grocery money. Because its usually 2-5.00 and not enough to really do anything with ( yes I know it adds up but I would rather take that 5 bucks or 10 bucks and get gas with it then worrying about it later)
So here's what we came up with
Cat food- the have to have it. Its not in my budget plan, but im adding it there this month b/c they have about a week left and then bam no food.
Milk
Water (bottled)
2 bags of salad
Mystery item ( yeah um we will just keep it at that)
Crackers
Lunch Meat
And that should leave my husband with a little bit of gas money after all is said and done.
Off to look into purchasing a cow now. And a dairy farm. It has to be cheaper then gallons of milk ( fyi... I grew up on a dairy farm ;) )
