Let's try this again... shall we?

I bombed for February. I couldn't resist a local Kroger going out of business.

But I'm willing to try again!! Exceptions include needed items - and perishables, such as milk/bread/eggs/etc.

Not off to a great start, but I really did need shaving cream ... well.... sorta... I was almost out (hubby & I share items like this)

March 1st
I went to Publix to get shaving gel that was BOGO (w/ coupons)

I bought 12 cans, spent $7.02

Gave the kids $3 to get drinks out of the vending machine - I know, I know -

Total spent: $10.02

Shaving cream will be for hubby & I both. He's thrilled to use pink floral smelling cream :toothy: LOLOLOLOL.

Been cooking out of the pantry/fridge all week. Still got PLENTY more to go.

Truthfully I could easily skip the grocery store this month, except my Jewel happens to be having some nice loss leaders on a three day sale through tomorrow. So I will probably go and pick some stuff up, especially to use up some coupons I have that are expiring next week and are on sale this week. Am also going to pick up a substantial amount of pasta for my stockpile (one of the items I have been itching to cross off my "need to stockpile" list. Will probably also pick up some HBA stuff.

so far, so good.

I've packed another bag to donate to the food bank - I really don't even like Better Crocker potatoes in a box, so I'm going to share those.

I did go to Publix yesterday & get a bunch of carrots & asparagus for dinner, as well as 4 bags of dog food ($.59 after coupons), a bottle of Worch sauce (free after coupon) and 2 silk soymilks.

total spent $13 and I didn't get much that will clog up space & suck up my oxygen - except that bottle of sauce, so maybe I'll toss it in the food bank bag too - I don't "need" it.

OK... stocked up a BUNCH for my stockpile, which I am not counting against this challenge.

What I *am* counting against this challenge is the chicken I bought, the fresh produce: grapes, bananas, celery, onions, asparagus and mushrooms yogurt, and milk. Forgot to buy bread, but I think I need that too. So, not bad for a first shopping trip of the month. :)
