When looking at our finances I realized that the number one reason we built up debt is because of how much we spent on food. We eat out often, purchase lots of food and then watch it go to waste. So I decided that we are slashing our food bill from over $600 to $300 a month. $100 of that is for baby formula and the other $200 will cover my husband and I for the whole month. The difference will go to pay off debt. So we are basically paying debt off one meal at a time! Wish me luck!

3 More Walgreens Trips
Well my Walgreen's Trips didn't turn out exactly as I hoped. The milk they had was expiring too soon to get a lot of it so I did my best to think on my feet. Here is what we ended up coming out with.
1 can Goodstart
2 cans Walgreen's brand Formula
6 bags shredded cheese
2 dozen eggs
2- 2 liters of soda (not necessary but it will be nice)
1- 6 pack of toilet paper (had $1 0ff coupon plus on sale)
1- 50 pk. bottle liners (needed anyway)
1 bottle shampoo
1- 1/2 gallon milk (we ran out today so we needed something until our real shopping trip)
Total: $70.07 plus $21.72 from the last shopping trip. Which leaves only $58.21 to get the rest of our food with. YIKES!!!! Hopefully I will be able to come up with some great deals to feed us for two weeks.
