Grocery Haul

I didn't get to upload this as quick as I wanted to yesterday. After school, I was able to go to Aldi like I wanted too. Then I spent some much needed time with my son! We went off the mountain where we live to do a little birthday shopping for his little sister. I also picked up a few more things at a Walmart while we were shopping down there. I didn't get a picture because it was late when we came in. Plus... I got more than groceries!

I splurged a little to get some vanilla bean cupcakes and some chocolate caramel coffee creamer. With me being out of school for the next couple of weeks, I needed enough creamer to go in my coffee! As always.. I got my coconut creme flavored creamer too!  Some of this haul includes food for the birthday party. The Birthday girl (child) gets to choose what they would like to eat for their birthday. This time... it was chicken, steamed broccoli, and shells & cheese.  No cake, only double stuffed Oreo cookies. This child also wanted rainbow sherbet but I could only find a small tub for almost $4.  I was able to get two tubs of ice cream of her choice at Aldi for about the same price!

I was excited because I haven't kept it under $50 in a long time!! But remember... I did go to Walmart and picked up a few more grocery items so really it wasn't under $50. With tax and all, it would have ran my grocery bill up to around $55. so I still consider this a win!
