We have had a family packed few days and to me that takes precedence so this is a little late but it is here now.  We got out to Kroger, CVS, and Rite Aid this week.  I had a few other deals we wanted to grab but a run on gas in our area made us stick close to home to conserve what we had.

**Don’t miss great CVS deals and scenarios for next week!!**

I did go over budget this week but got excited in Kroger to get Old El Paso Taco Shells for .30 cents each so I bought as many as I had coupons for… I think 14… I did already use 5 of those though serving tacos to a big group that came over.  It was wonderful to do dinner for 14 people and spend $13 total on the meal!!
