$750 Budget: Week 4 Report
(No week 3, as I was out of town for father’s funeral)
Week 4 Spending: $5.98
Total left to spend for 2009: $725.30
Shopped at Bi-Lo (all food pictured is on produce manager’s special, at $1.49 a bag/container). I also picked up 9 Jr. Frosties (froze several) from “free” coupons, and did a transaction for 3 bottles of shampoo at CVS (used extra care bucks and gift card=$0.00 out of pocket). For some reason, my camera battery died as I was taking those pictures, and I do not have a picture.
We did go out to eat, but my husband paid decided we would pay for our $1.08 meal and tip with some money he made on a side job, rather than taking that out of the food budget.
We also celebrated our daughter’s first birthday frugal style–we didn’t spend any extra money–more on that to come!

Wow! Which Bi-Lo(s) do produce manager specials?

I don’t shop at Bi-Lo much and had never heard of a produce manager’s special…but what a deal! When do they do that?
It’s good to have you back.
And I’m sorry about your Dad.

I am fairly certain that all of the local Bi-Lo’s do some sort of manager’s special. Most of them do this in the mornings, though some locations have better selections than others.
