Harris Teeter is having one of their super double events. This means they will double up to 20 coupons a day up to $2.00 each. Of course we shopped yesterday, I spent 17.16 and saved 77.14 or 82%. I was most excited with this because they were out of at least 3 of the items on\u00a0 my list.\u00a0 But even more exciting was the fact I bought Band-aids, Tide pods, and dishwasher tabs to name a few.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">2. My grocery budget is currently sitting at $302 spent for the month, I am hopeful to keep this amount low for the month to help pay off debt.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">3. My gas budget is sitting at $233 for the month. This includes several minor repairs for the white van that we purchased in addition to an oil change for my car as well. I am almost confident that this amount will say under our budgeted $400.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">4. We were pleasantly surprised to not have to have the white van inspected prior to purchasing tires for it. We did pay $126 for tags and taxes for the first year. This amount is in addition to the regular gas budget, because this is a one time expense that will decease to less than $50 any other years that we owe the vehicle.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">5. Haley will be purchasing my car, over the next several months. I am still debating and deciding how to use and account for this money.\u00a0\u00a0 I will be deducting the $126 above from her down payment otherwise I hope to place in a saving account until it is completely paid for and then make a big debit payoff with it!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have mentioned before that I really like this format-just bulletin points with a little to no connection between them so I am going to adapt it a little bit\u00a0, give myself permission to change between them randomly, and attempt &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teenstotsandeverythinginbetween.com\/?p=2795\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[3,5,32],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2795","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-budgeting","category-saving-money","category-shopping-2"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":false,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2ySyX-J5","jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.teenstotsandeverythinginbetween.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2795","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.teenstotsandeverythinginbetween.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.teenstotsandeverythinginbetween.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.teenstotsandeverythinginbetween.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.teenstotsandeverythinginbetween.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2795"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.teenstotsandeverythinginbetween.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2795\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2796,"href":"https:\/\/www.teenstotsandeverythinginbetween.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2795\/revisions\/2796"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.teenstotsandeverythinginbetween.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2795"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.teenstotsandeverythinginbetween.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2795"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.teenstotsandeverythinginbetween.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2795"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
