1 15 oz butter 2.50
$200 Gift Card

Total: 230.xx OOP

I am taking Tinks Idea and buying gift cards to the grocery stores I shop at to help hold myelf to the food budget I set. I will count the money spent now since I have spent the money up front. I still need to transfer my prescriptions to get more grocery gift cards.

My plan is to get:

200 Albertsons
200 Ralphs

That will leave me with $485 for the mexican market, persian market etc.

Grocery money left: 885.00

So what do you think about my plan?? or should I say Tinks plan,

    I have considered this as well.

    I wish I had more time to shop. I took my girls to Kroger last night just to get Valentines... I ended up spending $60... but at least I got $8 in catalinas
