I'm not sure if I said this before, but I try to keep our weekly budget to $60. That has to include all personal hygiene items, groceries, diapers and formula - for a family of 4! well, my 2 little ones don't eat too much, but hey, they count! I had to go to Walmart to pick up contacts so I figured I would shop a little while I was out. I hit 2 Walmart's - the furthest Walmart from me is the only one with the eye center - and I had to pass another Walmart to get there! I wanted 7 bottles of formula and didn't want to empty the place out in case any of my readers were going to use the awesome $3 coupon! (which is still available here and Walmart still has it on price cut -woot!) so I tried to split my purchases up a little to leave a few on the shelves. I also hit Target and Rite Aid. Here is the break down:
