Eating Healthy on a Budget!

It can be done folks!!! I made an extra run to Kroger today, even though I knew it would set us over our weekly budget (we are still ahead of the game for the month, though!). I wanted to use up some coupons on a sale that was ending today. I know, I know, it seems like most coupons are for junk food -- it's true! but not all of them are. My biggest penny pinching tip is to pair up coupons with sales. I will hold onto the coupons until the item goes on sale then buy it. Sometimes I have multiple coupons and can stock up.

Here was today's trip. All of this was for a whopping $9.92! Take that Kroger!
