I'm a little under my max budget limit, but there are still a few things I want to buy. When I'm done, I should be right at the limit.
Aldi: $110.91
Woolworths: $80.37
Reject Shop: $11.00
Coles: $79.28
Total: $284.56
The sale items I grabbed this week came mostly from Woolies, including 4 jars of their new store brand salsa, 8 cans of their refried beans, and 10 packets of their taco seasoning. They pulled a smooth little trick, advertising Old El Paso for half price, then running their new store brand items, also at half price, and cheaper than the OEP stuff. So I loaded up more than I'd planned, while still being within budget.
My other unexpected purchase this week was a half dozen cans of Dr. Pepper. Dublin Dr. Pepper, with sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup, which I haven't had since I left Texas. They've been available here through mail order, but buying soft drinks on the internet has always seemed a little extravagant, and I've never done it. But the Reject Shop is selling them, and I'm hoping I can buy more. I've read that the Dublin bottling plant isn't making any more, so this might not last long, but I'm going to enjoy them while I can get them.
The problem, of course, is that drinking Dr. Pepper doesn't really fit in with my weight loss plans, so I'm going to have to work out some sort of reward system, I think.
