So, I guess this would officially be my last week in this challenge. I am kind of bummed because I really enjoy sharing my savings with you! In fact, I will probably continue to do so just because! :) Actually, I have one more week!! :) I just looked and I started the challenge on the 22nd of January! Yeah because next week will be a fun diaper week! This week was okay at Rite Aid. Definitely not as good as last week, but not too bad. A couple of good learning lessons (i.e. make sure to read the small print on the ad, make sure to grab the coupon for the right item, etc.). Every time I go out to do this, it seems like there is something I learn. This is a good thing. It will help me teach others and help me so that I can be better prepared when I go, making life easier for all involved. :)
