Week of August 11th

This is going to be an expensive week. I went to Babies R Us today to get some formula. Here's what fell into the groceries category:

4 cans formula $22.09 each = $88.36
Overnite diapers $11.99
Diaper doublers $2.99
Gerber snacks $2.99 (ended up seeing them cheaper at Target)
Baby wash $2.99 - $1 coupon = $1.99 (also cheaper at Target)

Total grocery bill here: $108.32

I went next door to Target to pick up some diapers. Here's how my bill came out:

144 Huggies $29.99 - $1.50 store coupon - $1.50 mfr. coupon = $26.99
I bought a second box of Huggies as a shower gift and got a $10 giftcard for buying two boxes of diapers. I used that giftcard on the rest of my groceries (separate transaction).
2 Gerber snacks $1.66 each
Bisquick $2.64 - $0.60 coupon = $2.04
Marshmallows $0.87
2 boxes Eggos $1.50 each - $1 store coupon (off 2) - $1 mfr. coupon (off 2)= $0.50 each

Total grocery bill here: $34.22 - $10 giftcard = $24.22 (including the diapers!)

Here's my menu for the week:
Monday: Chicken enchiladas
Tuesday: Leftovers
Wednesday: Chicken soft tacos
Thursday: Roasted chicken w/potatoes & green beans
Friday: Date night!
Saturday: Farfalle w/zucchini
Sunday: Empanadas
Monday: Leftovers
