Shopping Trip Today

Today I had planned on shopping around, and it was just too darn cold to do so. I would have saved a few extra dollars had I run to Walgreens and Dollar General, but with 20 degree weather and 2 kids, I could make only one stop at Wal-Mart. I also noticed another round of price increases, once again not too cool. Here are 4 from my shopping list:

  • One Dozen Eggs $1.70 (this one is actually down $.17)
  • Gerber Puffs $1.92 (up $.24 since the new year)
  • Huggies Diapers 40 ct $10.67 (up $1.13 since last week, ouch)
  • White Flour $1.58 (up $.20 since the new year)

I know a few of the price increases are small, but the Diaper price increase I noticed that one immediately. I did have $7.00 in coupons today, but those little price increases really hurt my grocery budget.

How are the prices in your area? Are you seeing price increases on your Family Favorites?

I Don’t Want to go Outside

I really don’t want to go outside today, it is freezing. It isn’t even going to get above freezing today, right now it is a balmy 11. I should have run all of my errands yesterday, but I didn’t. If I can just wait until tomorrow, the weather will be slightly warmer. If I rally and get out today, here is the plan:

  • Get gas for my car
  • Go to Walgreens (Huggies diapers are on sale 2/$16 Last Day)
  • Go to Dollar General for Kitty Litter
  • Go to Wal-Mart for all of the groceries
  • Go to the Post Office

That is a lot of outdoor errands on a cold day, I just don’t know if I really want to get out in the cold. We’ll see if I make it outside today  😉
