I have not been including my &#8220;VIC&#8221; saving in my total.<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday, Matt, myself and the 3 little kids made a second trip to HT this week. I spent $55 saved $124 or 69%.  This was a great trip considering we ended up with 5 cases of drinks for Matt&#8217;s lunch.  I am debating a third trip today but it probably will not happen.<\/p>\n<p>We also went to CVS  on Sunday. There were already out of the Body wash that would have made this an awesome trip and I forgot my free coupon for &#8220;Little swimmers.&#8221; So  I will most likely make a trip to another CVS this week to take advantage of the money maker. I did get a raincheck for the body wash but I will be able to do this deal twice if I can find the items in stock.<\/p>\n<p>I have totally shot the grocery budget for this month, my excuse is that I bought all the food for Amanda&#8217;s shower. So to try and at least use some of this food for us I have spent the better part of the last 2 days steaming, and freezing things such as broccoli and carrots. I will also be freezing the celery to use in soups this winter. Today, I am trying a new recipe that involved using alot of veggies that I had already decided I need to use up! I hope it turns out well because I ended up using 6 chicken breast in it as well.  I have made 2 dozen  muffins and need to freeze half of these and then make a batch of banana bread to use the rest of the 9lbs of bananas I bought at half price last week.  I hope to finish all this up today and make some baby food for Zach to eat. Yesterday he ate no &#8220;bought&#8221; baby food which was awesome. If I do nothing but save on the purchase of baby food that should get me back on track for June with the budget. I did come in 150 less than the average in April so if I can do the same in June, I will break even.<\/p>\n<p>My garden is growing awesomely. I notice this morning that the jalapeno pepper is blooming. I have now transplanted everything and each square has something growing in it! I will try and get a picture to post soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I actually remember to do this on Tuesday!
