I'm aiming to really watch them dollars and treat them like little green soldiers with a job to do each and every day ...
In late December, I opened up another CapitalOne 360 account online. This one was a checking account (I already have two savings accounts set up there) and it's specifically for grocery shopping. I figured maybe, just MAYBE this will keep my grocery shopping in check. I deposited $200 at the time of opening and then another $200 right before the new year so I would have my new goal of $400 in that checking account. The debit card arrived a little over a week after I set it up, thanks to the funky Monday holiday schedule and I used it the first time on January 4th ...

Aldi $26.xx
I've lost my receipt. But it was ALL veggies, along with some marked down chicken tenders and a few roast. Yes, dirt cheap which is why I bought the meat and it's all in the freezer now. There was also tons of veggies, including 5 cucumbers, grape tomatoes, butter lettuce and a few other things.

Hubby scooped a few cans out of each carton to put in our fridge and then the rest went in the cooler with the 20 pound bag of ice ($3.69) and we took it all with us.
