Not too bad, $2.30 over budget but there were a couple of things I probably could have done better on...the couscous for sure. I bought the larger container since in the long run it will be cheaper, but I didn't have a coupon for it and it was not on sale. I need it for a gathering tomorrow. Oh well, I still saved more than I spent!

Hope you have a great shopping week!

Enjoy!

I was so excited to get this in the mail today! If you haven't signed up to Vocalpoint yet, go HERE. It's free! It's all about trying new products and giving your opinion on the matter. Today I got a talking card! So cute! Kellogg's has improved their Rice Krispies cereal by including 25% of our daily required antioxidants & nutrients in each serving. Inside the talking card was a coupon for a FREE box of cereal and 5 coupons for $1/1 of an 11 oz or larger box of cereal.

There's a recipe I saw in one of the magazines for a baked chicken crusted in rice krispies. I can't wait to try it!
