This week was a learning week.  The more I am looking to save money, the more I am on-line looking for deals and coupons.  I had a few coupons that I knew I could only use at Wal Mart, because they were the only store around that carried a few items.  I was so into all this "couponing" and I found some blogs that had Wal Mart deals for the week and started printing away.  Now these are not items I would have normally bough,t but since the deals were so good I decided to print out the coupons and buy them.  That is where the lesson begins.  I ended up walking out of there having spent over $50.  I did buy $14 razors for hubby though, yikes!  I was a little shocked, but thought surely because of these purchases I would spend less at the grocery store this week and it would all come out to under my $120 a week budget.  Wrong.  I spent $92 at the grocery store. 

So the lesson this week is to stick to what I need and not get wrapped up in all the "good deals".  I hope you can learn from my mistakes!
