Track Spending With Me Through 2010! Week of 3/27/2010

Interested in tracking your spending with me? Refer to my original post here and my post here.

Okay, I thought that 9 separate transactions at Rite Aid in any given week was a lot. . . . this week I did a total of 11 transactions!! The diapers and wipes were just too tempting. Once again I didn't get out until Saturday afternoon. I had to go by three different Rite Aids.

I forgot to include my 5 jars of Planters peanuts and my 8 packages of Reeses dark peanut butter cups in my photo.
